What could be pursued?WARRANTY DECISION INTELLIGENCE
Improve supplier recovery and parts-return decisions.
Connect supplier terms, claim evidence, and return economics to pursue eligible recovery, reduce avoidable handling cost, and give suppliers actionable quality intelligence.
For OEM warranty, claims, purchasing, and supplier quality leaders.
Answer • Decide • Act.
CONNECTED OEM WARRANTY OPERATIONSYOUR NEXT OPPORTUNITY
Claims automation is mature.
Recovery can go further.
Start with one supplier, part family, or recovery backlog where incomplete recovery, costly returns, or weak evidence is limiting performance.
FOUR DECISIONS. ONE CONNECTED VIEW.
Make the right call
before the next cost.
Bring agreement terms, claim narratives, failure coding, and physical evidence into the same decision. Explore how each step can work.
CONNECT THE FAILURE TO THE SOURCE
Identify responsibility with context.
Reconcile OEM and supplier part numbers, supersessions, serial or lot data, build records, and sourcing dates. Distinguish the suspected causal component from the part that was replaced.
ILLUSTRATIVE CLAIM NARRATIVE
“Intermittent pressure loss under load. Pump replaced; contamination observed in the inlet filter.”
Original recordSubmitted failure code
AI interpretationProposed failure mapping
ValidationSupplier + part + cause
Preserve the original narrative and code. Show supporting evidence and confidence; route uncertain attribution for expert review.
APPLY THE RIGHT AGREEMENT
Recover according to the terms you agreed.
Interpret coverage periods, exclusions, liability shares, labor rates, eligible charges, and notice requirements. Apply the agreement and amendments effective for the relevant part and event.
CoveragePart, product, market, and effective date
Cost basisParts, labor, freight, caps, and cost sharing
ConditionsFailure evidence, NTF rules, and return obligations
TimingNotice, submission, response, and appeal deadlines
Show the source clause behind each recommendation. Purchasing reviews ambiguous terms and authorizes exceptions.
BALANCE OBLIGATIONS, EVIDENCE, AND COST
Return the parts that need to come back.
Compare permitted actions using supplier requirements, recovery likelihood, diagnostic value, logistics expense, test capacity, and deadlines.
Return & inspectWhen required or physical analysis adds value
Remote evidenceWhen the supplier accepts sufficient digital proof
Approved samplingWhen the agreement permits a representative sample
Hold & preserveWhen attribution, quality risk, or instructions remain unresolved
Contractual returns, retention duties, and safety or quality investigations take priority over an economic ranking.
BUILD A DEFENSIBLE RECOVERY PACKET
Move from attachments to usable evidence.
Evaluate the complaint, cause, and correction alongside pictures, videos, inspection results, and test reports. Identify missing, inconsistent, duplicated, or irrelevant material before submission.
PicturesPart identity, visible condition, and required views
VideosObserved symptoms and relevant timestamps
InspectionsTest method, findings, and component traceability
Recovery packetClause, claim, evidence, amounts, and next action
Keep observations distinct from inferred cause. Visual evidence alone does not establish supplier liability.
SUPPLIER AGREEMENTS, MADE ACTIONABLE
Put every relevant
clause to work.
AI can interpret the text in supplier agreements and amendments, connect it to each claim, and turn agreed terms into evidence requirements, deadline checks, and recommended actions.
- Retrieve the applicable version and effective dates.
- Map eligible cost categories, limits, and liability allocation.
- Check notice periods, return rules, and dispute procedures.
- Surface conflicting language for purchasing review.

A BETTER PARTS-RETURN DECISION
- 1. Check obligations.
Required return, retention, or safety / quality action? Follow the required return or hold instructions.
- 2. Assess the evidence needed.
If physical inspection is needed, compare permitted return and inspection options.
- 3. Compare permitted alternatives.
If physical inspection is unnecessary, assess digital evidence, approved sampling, or authorized disposition.
- Unclear? Preserve and review.
Hold the part while the responsible owner resolves requirements or attribution.
RETURN WITH PURPOSE
Recover more value
from each return decision.
Return and inspection activity should produce usable evidence, satisfy obligations, or advance a quality investigation. Evaluate the incremental benefit of each permitted option before incurring cost.
COMPARE COMPLIANT OPTIONS
Expected collectible recovery
less freight, handling, storage, testing, disposition, and administration.
Assess diagnostic and quality-learning value separately.
Choose return, local inspection, remote evidence, approved sampling, or authorized disposition as the agreement allows. A low recovery estimate never authorizes scrapping by itself.
A SCORECARD FINANCE CAN USE
Keep opportunity and
financial outcomes distinct.
Follow the same recovery through its stages. Measure conversion, elapsed time, and operating cost without adding successive stages together.
Accepted
Amounts formally agreed by the supplier, with partial acceptance, concessions, and dates recorded.
What has the supplier agreed?Collected
Cash received or an approved credit or debit settlement applied and reconciled to the recovery.
What value has been collected?| Measure | Track separately | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Recovery conversion | Identified, submitted, accepted, and collected amounts by cohort | Shows which opportunities become supported, settled value. |
| Recovery cycle time | Identification → submission; submission → acceptance; acceptance → collection | Locates the stage that delays the outcome. |
| Net return & inspection cost | Freight, packaging, handling, storage, testing, disposition, and administration, less reimbursements or salvage credits | Exposes the cost of generating evidence and processing returns. |
| Evidence completeness | Cases meeting every applicable supplier-specific evidence requirement at submission | Measures readiness and quality of support, beyond attachment counts. |
| Supplier dispute outcomes | Full or partial acceptance, rejection, withdrawal, and unresolved cases, by count and amount | Reveals denial reasons, concessions, and opportunities to improve. |
Prove incremental value.Compare additional collected recovery, less additional operating cost, with an agreed baseline. Count each receipt, reimbursement, and cost once.
SUPPLIER QUALITY INTELLIGENCE
Turn recovery evidence
into the next quality action.
Connect claim and failure trends to supplier, component, serial or lot, product, and region. Give suppliers the evidence and priorities they need to investigate causes and reduce recurrence.
- Detect emerging failure clusters and changes in severity.
- Monitor NTF findings, repeat repairs, and inspection yield.
- Track supplier response, acceptance, and dispute patterns.
- Assign corrective actions and monitor recurrence.

QUESTIONS OEM LEADERS ASK
Built around your
agreements and operations.
Do we need to replace our claims system?
Circuitry.ai can augment your existing warranty environment. Scope approved integrations with claims, ERP, supplier, and quality systems so recommendations and authorized actions fit your current operation.
How does AI handle agreement ambiguity?
Agreement interpretation retrieves the relevant contract and amendments, cites the applicable language, and flags conflicts or uncertainty. Purchasing and the responsible experts approve interpretations and exceptions before consequential actions.
Can AI use free text, pictures, videos, and inspection results?
Use claim narratives, failure codes, images, video, and inspection reports as connected evidence. Preserve the source records, separate observations from inferred causes, and validate support against supplier-specific requirements. Available evidence formats and integrations are scoped for the deployment.
What counts as a successful proof of value?
Agree a baseline and measure decision quality, review effort, accepted and collected recovery, return and inspection cost, evidence completeness, cycle time, and dispute outcomes. AI-identified potential is tracked separately from financial value.
