This is where decisions get presented.

One desk for everything you buy: benchmarks that end in a verdict, playbooks that run the negotiation, and an AI analyst who cites every figure. Thirteen stops, two minutes.

Grounded in market data Never trained on your data Built buyer side

Every figure below is a labeled sample. Your numbers arrive the moment you upload a contract.

The tour begins

A benchmark, a negotiation, and the paper that wins the room.

You are about to watch a contract become a verdict, the verdict become a plan, and the plan run itself, with a staff of agents on duty the whole time.

Stop 1 · The verdict

A benchmark ends in a verdict, not a spreadsheet.

Where this deal ranks

Below market, 17 points off

The bar is the peer range at this size. The marker is where this deal sits on it.

The verdict: below market for a deal this size. Closing to the peer midpoint is worth $156,000 a year, and the renewal window is the moment to take it.

Stop 2 · The workroom

Pick the line, and the sheet draws its curve.

Every vendor on the shelf carries a documented discount curve: the median off list and the range comparable buyers secure, by deal size. Type the five fields of your deal and the sheet answers the three questions in order.

Stop 3 · The face-off

Two papers on one stage. Every difference named.

Put a renewal against the paper it replaces and the AI redlines both: every repriced line, every clause that moved, which side each change favors, highlighted at the exact sentence in each document.

Stop 4 · The playbook

The negotiation runs on rails.

A playbook turns the verdict into a guided working session: the sequence, the levers, and a record of every position taken. Microsoft EA, SAP RISE, Oracle, Salesforce, Workday and more.

Stop 5 · The analyst

Vera answers with citations, not vibes.

Ask in plain language, by chat or by voice. Vera reads your contracts and the market data behind every benchmark, and every figure in her answer is cited to its source.

Are we overpaying for our analytics platform?

Vera

Yes, by a wide margin. You pay $118 per user per month; the market median for your profile is $92. Across 500 seats that gap is $156,000 a year.

Stop 6 · The radar

No renewal sneaks up on you again.

Every agreement's clock counts down on one horizon: expiry, notice deadline, and the auto-renew flags that bind you silently. Alerts land while there is still time to act.

Stop 7 · The case

Or hand the whole negotiation to the desk.

Open a case and Vera runs it end to end: she prepares the strategy, writes and sends every email, and the vendor's replies land back in the thread. You approve twice, the mandate and the final offer. Every step is logged.

Stop 8 · The agents

A staff that works while you sleep.

The agents run on the platform's clock whether you visit or not. You choose the roster, and their findings land on your desk with the numbers attached.

Prices, bills, terms, and vendor health. They flag what changed and what it costs you.● Live

Stop 9 · The toolkit

Every screen earns its place.

Contract Agent, spend optimization, the buyer network, the research library, sourcing rooms, quote face-offs, the price index. Jump to puts every tool one keystroke away, and each one opens as its own window, ready to work.

Stop 10 · The paper

What leaves the building looks like it came from a firm.

Every deliverable renders as an executive brief: the same masthead, the same cool navy, on screen and in every export. Your CFO never sees a raw metrics dump.

Stop 11 · The ground rules

Built buyer side. Locked down by default.

The desk works for you and only you: no vendor money, no data resale, no exceptions. And the contracts you trust it with are guarded like the leverage they are.

🛡Your data stays yours
Every row is isolated to your organization at the database itself, never just in the app.
🛡Never trained on
The AI reads your contracts to answer you. Your data never trains a model.
🛡Every touch logged
Views and downloads of your contracts land in an audit trail you can read.
🛡Locked down
Encrypted in transit and at rest, multifactor sign-in, and downloads by short-lived signed links only.

The full security posture is written up for your security team. Read the security brief →
