Market research, playbooks, and outlooks that open as styled pages, with the Word file to take away.

What this demo covers

The video browses the shelf that grounds Vera's market answers: the Oracle negotiation guide for ERP and HCM Cloud, the AI pricing playbooks that give a market with no history a baseline, and vendor reads on Snowflake's AI budget line, ServiceNow agent pricing, UiPath's move from seats to meters, the OpenAI clause set, Atlassian, and Microsoft credits. It also shows the reading room itself, full screen reading mode, share links that travel without an account, and favorites that build your own shelf. The premise is plain: a negotiation is won by whoever read more.

Welcome

A negotiation is won by whoever read more. The research library is where you do the reading, white papers, playbooks, and outlooks on the vendors you pay.

The Oracle guide

Start deep. The Oracle guide covers ERP and HCM Cloud, the levers, the counters, and the plan.

The AI pricing playbooks

The AI pricing playbooks give a market with no history a baseline, vendor by vendor, Snowflake to ServiceNow.

Seats to meters

When a vendor moves you from seats to meters, the UiPath playbook shows how to survive the crossing.

The AI clause set

The OpenAI paper is the AI clause set, the terms to put in writing before you commit. Atlassian covers paying twice for AI you already own.

Reading time

Every card states its reading time, so you know the ask before you open.

Search the shelf

Search narrows the shelf as you type. Twenty matches on Oracle, the deep dive on top.

Papers open as pages

Open it, and this is the change. Papers no longer open as embedded files. They read as pages, a masthead, the key numbers, then the analysis.

The key numbers

The numbers come first: the median discount for your size of deal, the service start date to push for, the renewal uplift to land. Then the read begins.

The contents rail

On the left, the contents rail tracks where you are and jumps to any section. Nine sections here, fifteen minutes, and your place is never lost.

The analysis

Navy bands mark the sections. Tables carry the benchmark data with the verdicts printed at the values.

The download

Need the file? The Word document is the download, one click in the header.

Wrap

Read first, then negotiate. The library keeps you ahead.
