Marketing agencies teams lose vendor performance measured only when something breaks. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
An anomaly detector that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes vendor management. Revenue is data subscription, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.
