The three answers on every deal: your discount, the peer range, where you rank.

What this demo covers

The tour opens the Benchmark Library window and starts with its new guide, a film played from the titlebar: Tom, a senior advisor, on how to use the library and where its edges are, the bands a reference measured on reference deals, never a quote. Then a real check runs on camera: find RISE Premium, open SAP on the shelf, and pick the line. The sheet draws the documented discount curve and answers in order, the discount on the table, the range comparable buyers land with its midpoint, and a supported ask, with the levers that move a RISE deal and the send ready brief one tab away.

Welcome

Three questions decide every software deal, and this window answers all of them in order.

The guide film

New on the titlebar, a guided film. Tom, a senior advisor, on how to use the library.

A reference, not a quote

He is candid about the edges too. The bands are a reference measured on reference deals, there to show what good looks like at your size, never a quote.

Find the line

Now a real check. Type a product line, RISE Premium.

Open the vendor

The shelf narrows to the vendors carrying it. Open SAP and its documented lines unfold.

Pick the line

Every line carries the midpoint comparable buyers land, thirty three percent on RISE Premium. Pick it, and the sheet draws the whole curve.

The three answers

Peers at this size land between twenty two and forty five percent off, midpoint near thirty three. Type the offer, and the sheet ranks the deal in words.

The discount curve

Below the answers, the evidence. The discount curve by deal size, from the vendor's own August document, with a supported ask of thirty nine percent and what prepared buyers reach.

The levers

The levers tab turns the curve into an ask ladder. Midpoint, supported ask, and what prepared buyers reach, with the levers that earn each rung: the December close, a live alternative in the room, and the document's own caution.

The brief and Vera

One tab further and the brief writes itself from the same figures, ready to print, export, or hand to the negotiation agent. Ask Vera about the benchmark and she answers from the curve and your five fields, and when the data is silent, she says so.

Wrap

Your discount, the market's range, your rank. Any vendor, any line, whenever a quote lands.
