This assessment supports risk evaluation and insurance-readiness discussions. It is not a quote, binder, actuarial opinion, legal opinion, coverage determination, or guarantee of insurability.
Risk Classes
Seven AI-native risk classes
Each class includes the score, level, exposure driver, strongest control, and largest control gap.
| Risk | Score | Level | Key exposure driver | Strongest control | Largest control gap |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ARARAutonomous Resource Allocation Risk | 61 | High | Autonomous purchasing authority, monthly spend capacity, and resource consumption without velocity monitoring. | Spending limits and transaction velocity monitoring. | Hard monthly cap and escalation rules need evidence for placement. |
| AEDRAutonomous Economic Decision Risk | 66 | High | Agent may approve purchases up to $250,000 and influence vendor selection economics. | Dual approval above $50,000. | Approval rationale and exception logging should be standardized. |
| AOFRAutonomous Operational Failure Risk | 51 | High | Erroneous purchase approvals, supplier changes, cancelled orders, or workflow disruption. | Kill switch and incident response plan. | Rollback testing evidence is not complete. |
| IPERIntellectual Property Exposure Risk | 49 | Moderate | Licensed, proprietary, and supplier-originated information used in sourcing workflows. | Training data provenance documentation. | IP similarity review and attribution evidence require strengthening. |
| PDERPersonal Data Exploitation Risk | 40 | Moderate | Vendor and employee records are accessed to evaluate procurement options. | Privacy testing for known personal-data flows. | Consent documentation should be mapped to all employee-generated inputs. |
| AICRAI Concentration Risk | 67 | High | Dependency on one foundation-model provider and related cloud services. | Model fallback after remediation. | Vendor exit procedures and failover testing evidence need completion. |
| ILRInformational Labor Risk | 48 | Moderate | Human-created reviews, feedback, annotations, supplier notes, and contributed knowledge inform agent behavior. | Contributor consent documentation after remediation. | Attribution and compensation-arrangement records remain incomplete. |
Expected Loss
Frequency, severity, and correlation
Indicative expected loss inputs for a readiness discussion. Not actuarial certification.

Expected annual loss range

Maximum plausible loss scenario

Indicative expected loss is for readiness discussion only and is not actuarial certification.
Controls
Before and after comparison
Controls improve readiness and expected-loss posture. AIV remains material because purchasing activity still flows through the agent.
Before controls

After controls
84/100 · Grade B · $253,834 EAL
Coverage Considerations
Placement discussion areas
These are coverage considerations, not guaranteed coverage. Any illustrative limit is not a quote.
Autonomous resource consumption
Consider sublimits or conditions for cloud, API, inventory, procurement, and licensing spend triggered by autonomous decisions.
AI operational economic loss
Consider business interruption, extra expense, and operational loss language for AI-caused workflow failure.
AI decision liability
Consider third-party liability from pricing, purchasing, approval, contracting, or payment recommendations and actions.
Intellectual-property liability
Consider media/IP, copyright, trademark, trade-secret, and license-compliance allegations tied to AI outputs or inputs.
Personal-data liability
Consider privacy, security, unauthorized use, disclosure, and commercialization allegations involving identifiable data.
Informational-labor exposure
Consider scenario-analysis evidence for human-created contributions, attribution, consent, and compensation practices.
Model/vendor concentration
Consider concentration exclusions, contingent interruption, vendor failure, and model fallback conditions.
Required Improvements
Controls required before placement
A broker-facing control roadmap ordered by placement importance.
Critical
- Dual approval above $50,000 for autonomous purchase approvals.
- Monthly spending cap with alerting and documented exception workflow.
- Kill switch tested by procurement, finance, and IT owners.
- Model/vendor fallback plan with failover evidence.
Recommended
- Transaction velocity monitoring across suppliers, categories, and geographies.
- Quarterly audit of approvals, overrides, and exception rationale.
- IP similarity review for generated procurement language and supplier-facing outputs.
- Consent and attribution records for human-created informational inputs.
Optional
- Independent control attestation for broker submission package.
- Tabletop incident exercise with procurement and finance leadership.
- Separate procurement-agent retention and limit scenario for program design.
