# Category Savings Analyst

**Folder:** Procurement / Category Manager / Cost Savings Analyst

## What does it do?

A Category Manager is measured on category value, and savings come from negotiation, consolidation, demand management, and specification.

This agent hunts them: it analyzes category spend for savings levers, quantifies each, and builds the category savings plan — so category value is maximized.

## Benefits

- Category savings surfaced.
- All levers analyzed.
- Quantified and ranked.
- Category plan built.
- Value maximized.

## Recommended setup

• MCP — category spend data via warehouse/Sheets; Slack.
• Skill — a savings skill with category-lever logic.

## Installation
