SAMPLE-NP-AUG-01Aug 2026 invoice line: 2,400 shipping cartons × $2.65 = $6,360.

Fixed sample records, not a live integration. Comparability, source freshness and business authority still need verification.

2. Detect — Bring this change into focus.
This example meets the selected ±5% magnitude review threshold. Thresholds help prioritise a review; they do not prove waste, duplicate payment or a business risk. Both rises and reductions can deserve investigation.
3. Explain — Follow the numbers back to the evidence.
The unit-price increase exceeds an illustrative 5% review threshold. The item and monthly volume are comparable.
4. Recommend — Choose a practical, evidence-backed next step.
Check the agreed rate and ask the supplier to explain the change before considering any adjustment.
5. Human review — Keep the consequential decision with an authorised person.
Review the explanation and relevant records before approving a next step. Try the local review simulation below: it changes this example's visible state only, not your business systems.
6. Measure — Measure an outcome—not an assumption.
An approved recommendation is not a realised saving. An outcome needs a comparable baseline, a completed action, an agreed measurement period and supporting records. This sample does not establish customer savings or performance caused by Qostix.
Signals prompt investigation, not automatic financial decisions. Qostix AI and operational monitoring are intended capabilities; confirm their availability, data connections, permissions and cadence in your demo.

Potential impact. $360 / month additional cost at 2,400 cartons; $4,320 annualised only if price and volume persist. Not guaranteed savings.
Human approval. An authorised reviewer must approve any supplier, purchasing or payment change. Nothing is executed here.
