Operator guide
Ravi is the procurement manager: who the company buys from, on what terms, and when those terms quietly changed. The list is his to maintain; the money is yours to release.
The role
Most small companies buy from whoever was convenient the day the need arose, and renew by default. Ravi owns the approved-vendor list and account setup: what each vendor costs, what the terms are, when renewals land, and which of them deserve the review nobody schedules.
The list is not decoration — buying happens from it, changes to it are recorded acts, and a renewal arrives at your desk as a priced recommendation before it arrives on your card.
The refusals
Direct answers
Builds the list you already have: every subscription and vendor you pay, what each costs, and when each renews — usually the first complete picture of it the company has had.
He will recommend it, with the numbers. Cancellation changes what the company can do, so it parks for you — the same rule as everything with consequences.
Three layers, all server-side: your per-role tier, your company cap, and the rule that irreversible commitments stop at you. None of them is a policy he remembers; all of them are refusals he meets.
The vendor list built, the renewals watched, and the money still yours to release.
