04Palantir Foundry · Caddie sits above.

Five-year Palantir partnership expansion announced September 2025. 11,000+ Lear employees use Foundry / AIP / Warp Speed across quality, supply chain, procurement, manufacturing, finance, design. $30M+ savings from IDEA in H1 2025. Caddie is additive, not competitive — it executes Foundry's recommendations across SAP + carriers + suppliers with a one-tap buyer-approval loop.

Supply Chain Dive

IDEA · $30M+ savings H1 2025

$30M+ savings from IDEA by Lear in H1 2025 alone. Foundry + agentic execution = the published ROI shape. Caddie's execution layer compounds the IDEA savings.

Lear FY2025 results

Three moves · execution above Foundry.

Foundry recommendation ingestion

Subscribes to Foundry / AIP recommendations · ingests them as drafted actions for buyer review.

Cross-system execution

On buyer one-tap approval, Caddie executes the recommendation across SAP + carrier systems + supplier portals · with audit trail.

Closed-loop feedback

Reports execution outcome back to Foundry · closes the loop between recommendation and observed result · improves Foundry's next recommendation.

Questions, fence, timeline.

  1. Where does Foundry's recommendation hand off to execution today — through a buyer's manual workflow, or through an existing agent layer that writes back to SAP + carrier systems?
  2. For the Foundry-driven IDEA savings already realized ($30M+ H1 2025), what share is attributable to the recommendation quality vs the execution speed?
  3. Where would a first-lane pilot land — one buyer category, one plant, or one cross-system flow (e.g., raw-material expedite)?

We would touch

  • Foundry recommendation ingestion as drafted action.
  • Cross-system execution on buyer one-tap.
  • Closed-loop feedback to Foundry.
  • Audit trail per Caddie-executed action.

We would not

  • Replacing Palantir Foundry / AIP (coexistence + execution-above-only).
  • Replacing SAP MRP / procurement / production.
  • Plant Warp Speed manufacturing operations.
  • Buyer sourcing-decision authority.
6-8 weeks · one buyer category · Foundry-to-execution loop

First lane: one buyer category instrumented end-to-end Foundry recommendation → Caddie drafted action → buyer approval → SAP + carrier writeback, with audit trail. Closed-loop feedback to Foundry at week 8.
