As tariff uncertainty continues to ripple through global supply chains, Pramata has launched the Tariff Risk Analyzer – a contract AI agent designed to help legal and procurement teams identify and mitigate risks buried in vendor agreements. By turning contracts into actionable data, the tool aims to bring clarity to complex tariff impacts and negotiation dynamics.
Contract Clarity Amid Trade Uncertainty
Pramata’s Tariff Risk Analyzer serves as a purpose-built AI agent designed to assess and respond to supply chain vulnerabilities triggered by tariff changes. The tool scans an enterprise’s entire contract portfolio to surface critical issues such as missing tariff protection clauses, high-risk vendor dependencies, and limited renegotiation windows.
Central to the system is a Tariff Risk Dashboard, which visualizes exposure across supplier tiers, flagging where businesses may lack legal recourse or face pricing pressure due to vague or outdated contract terms.
“This is less about reacting to one policy change and more about preparing to operate in a state of ongoing tariff flux,” said Pramata CEO Praful Saklani in an official statement. “Vendor risk and tariff risk are now one and the same in today’s global supply chain.”
Unlike basic keyword search tools, Pramata’s AI models parse the legal and commercial context of contracts, enabling deeper interpretation of intent. That means procurement teams can proactively enforce clauses, or spot gaps, when suppliers cite tariff hikes as justification for price changes or delivery delays.
Reclaiming Negotiation Leverage
At a time when many companies are confronting multi-million-dollar tariff bills with limited insight into contractual protections, the Tariff Risk Analyzer offers practical leverage. It not only indexes and categorizes tariff-relevant clauses, but also alerts teams to compliance deadlines, renewal risks, and audit exposure, common pain points that can derail procurement strategy under changing trade conditions.
For supply chain directors, this represents a shift from reactive damage control to strategic foresight. By turning static contracts into structured intelligence, the platform enables scenario planning, enforces accountability, and supports compliance efforts that can otherwise fall through the cracks.
The tool’s design reflects a broader reality – contracts remain the core system of record for many global businesses, yet they are often poorly indexed and difficult to audit at scale. In this context, AI-powered solutions that can analyze contractual data with legal and operational precision are becoming essential infrastructure.
A Critical Step Toward Resilience
Amid the rising complexity of global sourcing and unpredictable tariff regimes, this tool addresses a foundational governance gap – understanding what your contracts actually commit you to. For procurement and legal leaders tasked with navigating today’s fragmented trade environment, that level of clarity is increasingly non-negotiable.
While AI alone won’t insulate supply chains from policy shocks, embedding this kind of contract intelligence can strengthen organizations’ response posture and reduce the friction of uncertainty. As tariffs shift from headlines to operational headaches, tools that quietly deliver legal insight at scale may become the new standard for resilient supply chain planning.
