lessons, yours to run
Easy to pick up, built to get you the next job
No coding background needed, and you write code with Claude as you go.
Every section below turns into something a hiring manager recognises, not just notes.
Read Your Entire Category Portfolio in One Session
- You will run a full portfolio read across six spend categories from a single Claude Code session, surfacing risk flags, contract expiry dates, and savings initiative status in one pass.
- You will filter to at-risk and behind-schedule items ranked by dollar exposure, so nothing unrecoverable gets buried in week four.
- No coding background is assumed: every prompt is explained line by line before you run it, so you know what it does and why the exact wording matters.
Separate Reading, Deciding, and Doing the Work
- You will apply the orchestrator pattern that keeps portfolio reading, prioritisation, and execution in three distinct steps, the discipline that cuts a 90-minute category review to a manageable session.
- You will produce a ranked action list with each item tagged to a work type (sourcing analysis, contract review, scorecard check, savings tracking), owner, and output path.
- This is a capability a category management lead or head of procurement operations would recognise and pay for on a CV.
Build Purchase-to-Pay Intelligence That Finds What Manual Checks Miss
- You will work with real-format data files (JSON and CSV) to cross-reference contract expiry dates against supplier risk flags, the same join that catches a high-risk supplier whose notice period is also expiring.
- You will set up a read-only data boundary before every session so source files are never overwritten, a professional discipline that makes your analysis auditable.
- Anyone can write a report; being able to build a repeatable P2P intelligence workflow is what separates candidates at shortlist stage.
Track Savings Programmes and Prove the Numbers
- You will build a savings programme tracker that confirms whether each initiative is on pace to deliver against its target and flags which ones have slipped since the last review.
- You will save structured outputs to a named Drafts folder, giving you a clean, version-controlled record that stands up in a leadership review or an audit.
- From day one you are hands-on, working with the actual data files included in the course, not toy examples.
Finish this course and you can do all of this, no prior background required:
- You will be able to run a structured portfolio review across multiple spend categories in a single Claude Code session, a capability that replaces hours of manual administration with a repeatable, aud
- You will be able to rank procurement actions by dollar exposure and recoverability, so you walk into every leadership conversation with a prioritised list, not a summary of everything equally.
- You will be able to cross-reference contract expiry dates with supplier risk flags to catch the combinations that manual checks miss, the kind of catch that protects the business and gets noticed.
- You will be able to build and run a savings programme tracker that confirms on-pace initiatives and surfaces slippage before a quarter closes short, the evidence base a category manager or CPO needs t
- You will be able to apply a read-only data boundary discipline that keeps source files safe and makes every output traceable, the professional standard expected in any environment where analysis feeds
- You will be able to demonstrate working spend analysis artefacts in an interview or a team setting, the kind of portfolio proof that separates you from candidates who can only describe what they would

Built from real implementation work
Every agent, skill file, and dataset is drawn from 25+ years and 50+ Oracle ERP implementations across pharma, manufacturing, semiconductor, and distribution.
Kept current with the stack
Claude Code, skills, and MCP move fast. Your licence includes every system update for as long as you're subscribed, so what you build keeps working as the tools change.
Procurement spend analysis is where you prove your value, yet many teams still do it by opening six category files one at a time, copying numbers into a spreadsheet, and writing a summary that's out of date when it lands in someone's inbox. Contract notice deadlines get missed because they sat in a file nobody got to. Savings initiatives slip from on-track to at-risk between Monday and Friday, and nobody notices until the quarter closes short. Job adverts ask for people who can turn data into insight and drive savings. Leadership wants a ranked list of what needs attention and what each item is worth, without 90 minutes of read-only admin to produce it.
What you'll be able to do, module by module
Every module leaves you able to build and run something real. Here is the syllabus, in the order you work through it.

Procurement and supply-chain roles increasingly ask for people who can do the analysis and show a working system on a laptop. This course gives you that system: action lists, savings trackers and P2P intelligence workflows you built with Claude Code and can walk a hiring manager through.
From subscribing to running your first artifact
Subscribe and get instant access
The moment you subscribe you can open the course. All data files for every lesson are included and waiting in the course environment. No setup headaches, no software licences to chase, no IT ticket needed.
Open the course and follow the walkthrough from lesson one
Each lesson explains every prompt before you run it, in plain English, with the exact wording and the reason for it. You do not need a coding background. If you can read a spreadsheet column header, you can read the JSON fields this course uses. A free preview lesson lets you try before you commit.
Build and run your first spend analysis artefact
In the Category Management System module you will run a live orchestrator session against real category data, produce a ranked top-eight action list with owner assignments and output paths, and save it to a Drafts folder. By the time you finish that module you have a working artefact you can show a hiring manager or use in your own team next week.
Catching a High-Risk Supplier Whose Contract Is Also Expiring: A Category Review Walkthrough
Set the data boundary
Before opening any file you tell Claude Code: read freely from data/, save all output to Drafts/, do not edit or overwrite any source file. Claude acknowledges each rule. Your category data is now safe for the entire session.
Run the full portfolio read
You ask Claude to read the programme-state JSON file and list every category by name, annual spend, risk flags, and initiative owners. All six categories appear. You can see immediately that one logistics supplier carries a risk flag and that a facilities contract shows an expiry date inside the next 90 days.
Filter to at-risk and behind-schedule items ranked by dollar exposure
You run the filter prompt. Claude returns a ranked list. The facilities contract sits at the top: annual value of over three million, notice period approaching, flagged as requiring a contract review. The logistics initiative appears second, behind schedule against a savings target, with a named capacity constraint attached.
Cross-reference the risk flag with the contract expiry date
You ask Claude to check whether any supplier carrying a risk flag also has a contract expiring within the notice window. The logistics supplier matches both conditions. This is the combination a manual review would have missed because the risk flag lived at the initiative level, not the category level.
Save the ranked action list to Drafts
Claude writes the top-eight action list to Drafts/ with each item tagged to a work type, an owner, and an output path. You have a work queue ready for parallel execution, not a report to paraphrase in a meeting.
The toolkit you'll build and run in this program

Straight answers before you subscribe
What will I learn in this procurement spend analysis course?
You learn portfolio ranking, notice period management and savings tracking, all done with Claude Code on the data files included in the course. The worked outputs include action lists, savings trackers and P2P intelligence workflows.
Do I need any coding or technical background to do this course?
None at all. Every prompt is written out for you and explained line by line in plain English before you run it. If you can read a column header in Excel, you can read the JSON fields this course uses. The course is designed for procurement and supply-chain professionals rather than developers, and you're hands-on from lesson one.
Will this work with my current setup?
All the data files you need are included in the course. You don't need to connect to your own systems or hold any particular software licence. You need to be able to open a terminal and move into a folder, which the course walks you through. Daily live sessions and mentor review are available if you hit a snag.
What is the refund policy?
Refunds depend on the plan. The yearly plan has a 14-day full refund. In India every plan is a one-time pass that isn't refunded, but it never renews without you, and you can try a free lesson before you buy. The refunds page has the full policy.
How does the course stay current? What if Claude Code changes?
The course is updated when the tools or recommended workflows change in a meaningful way. The approach rests on lasting procurement concepts (portfolio ranking, notice period management, savings tracking) rather than brittle syntax, so the core skills keep their value. You're notified when material updates are published.
Can I use what I build in the course in my own organisation or include it in a portfolio for job applications?
Yes. The artefacts you build are yours. The worked outputs (action lists, savings trackers, P2P intelligence workflows) are designed to be adapted to real category data and shown to a hiring manager or used inside your team. A free preview lesson lets you see what you're getting before you buy.
