Run a check & read a recommendation
Get a current read on your costs whenever you need one, instead of waiting on the next scheduled run.
What you get
- A market-reference-price check across every connected supplier, on demand
- Quality-checked results, not a raw cost dump
- A clear next step for every purchase item worth reviewing
Triggering a run
From Overview, select Run now to check current market reference prices across every supplier you've connected under Sources, for every item in your Purchase Catalog. Each run consumes research units, which count against your plan's cap — see Billing & credits basics for how that's measured. If you'd rather not trigger runs manually every time, a schedule can run checks for you automatically.
What happens during a run
Behind the scenes, each purchase item / supplier pair is researched and the results are quality-checked before they're finalized. This is why a run isn't instant — it's doing real comparison work, not refreshing a cached price.
Reading the result
When a run completes, two things can appear:
- Savings opportunities in the Savings Center — a suggested action (renegotiate, consolidate, or switch supplier), the reasoning behind it, and an evidence grade (high, medium, low, or unknown), for purchase items where the cost picture is worth reviewing.
- Alerts on the Alerts page — a notice that something changed, tagged with a severity.
Tips
A run that finds nothing noteworthy is a normal, healthy outcome — it means your costs are currently in line with the market. If you're new to a workspace and want to see the full flow before connecting real data, load the sample dataset from Settings first; it ships with a run already completed so you can explore savings opportunities and alerts immediately.
