Why this is canonical
Sourcing is the upstream, highest-judgment phase of procurement — where the decisions about which suppliers to engage, qualify, and contract have the greatest downstream cost and risk implications. Autonomous sourcing names the category precisely: AI agents that can scan supplier markets, qualify candidates against criteria, and advance the sourcing cycle without requiring constant human direction. This is distinct from purchase execution and settlement, and the .ai TLD places it in the agent-era vocabulary.
