The proposed capability depends on supplier identity, current purchase orders, receipts, invoices, approval limits, matching rules and historical exception outcomes.

PROCESS INTELLIGENCE / 04 WHAT IT RELIES ON
AI-Ready Data.
Make the necessary evidence fit for this specific AI role.
AI-ready data is trusted, permitted and available for one defined use — not perfect data everywhere.
AI-Ready Data identifies the exact records, fields, documents and knowledge the proposed capability needs at each process step. We test identity, definitions, quality, completeness, timeliness, lineage, accessibility and permitted use against the intended AI action. The question is not whether all organisational data is perfect; it is whether this evidence is reliable enough for this decision and its consequences.
Those requirements become a use-case data contract covering authoritative sources, owners, quality thresholds, permissions, refresh timing, retention and known gaps. If the evidence cannot support the capability safely, the pilot does not quietly proceed: the dependency is routed to the relevant data-quality, migration or governance action. This makes data readiness a visible delivery gate rather than an issue discovered after a tool is bought.

The same example follows the complete map so each dependency remains visible from outcome to pilot evidence.
Profile critical fields, reconcile identifiers, confirm rule versions and permissions, and exclude unreliable or unauthorised evidence until the responsible owner approves remediation.
Data makes it possible. People keep it accountable.
Evidence required at this step
Supplier master, purchase orders, receipts, invoices, approval rules, source lineage, access permissions, quality results and named data owners.

Business data owners approve definitions, quality thresholds, access and permitted use; unresolved evidence remains outside the AI capability.
