Methodology

How an engagement typically runs.

01 · Scope
Two-week discovery
We assess your contract estate, deployment data, and vendor correspondence. We tell you what we found — and what we would do about it — before you commit to a longer engagement.
02 · Strategy
Tailored playbook
We build a vendor-specific strategy with named clauses, benchmark pricing, walk-away positions, and timeline. You own it — the playbook is yours to use beyond our engagement.
03 · Execution
At the table or behind it
We negotiate alongside your procurement team, or arm them with what to say. We draft counter-proposals, respond to vendor escalations, and hold the line through every round.
04 · Outcome
Measured savings
Every engagement closes with a written outcome memo — what we negotiated, what we left on the table, and what to watch in the next cycle. Documented, defensible, and auditable.
