# SIB

An AI-native boutique specializing in **cost reduction.** It uses **AI agents to scan invoices and vendor contracts** for savings opportunities, deploying human experts only when needed — thereby avoiding the traditional pyramid. A concrete illustration of AI's **coverage/consistency advantage** cited in [[claim-ai-improves-speed-and-quality]] and of the [[concept-ai-native-boutiques]] pattern.
