Sourcing help, when you actually need it.

Software sourcing advisory across the full range. From the eight-figure renegotiation to the contract that arrived with no context and no artifacts. And sometimes the individual about to make the largest software purchase they'll ever make. Same attention, every time.

Advisory

Expert Advisory Start here

An insider's perspective

A specific question about a deal, a vendor, or a market. Paid hourly engagements for founders, operators, and expert networks who need a senior practitioner's read without a full engagement.

Available through 10EQS Synquery
A deal that doesn't feel right
A vendor you can't get a straight answer from
A market you're trying to break into

Run the deal

A transaction on the table or a renewal on the horizon — a new purchase, a competitive process, a contract heading to signature, or an agreement that no longer fits. Deal strategy and negotiation support for the moments where the wrong vendor move costs millions.

A competitive bid needs to be run
RFP structure, vendor evaluation criteria, quote normalization, and scoring methodology that survives stakeholder scrutiny.
A deal needs a second set of eyes
Contract redline, commercial term review, negotiation position development — independent perspective before you sign.
A business case needs building
TCO modeling, alternative analysis, and approval support to get spend through finance, IT, and the executive team.
A renewal is 6–18 months out
Position development, benchmarking, leverage strategy. Renewal outcomes are decided long before the quote arrives.
A master agreement needs renegotiation
Post-M&A integration, business model change, or terms that have drifted out of alignment with how you actually use the product.
Multiple contracts with the same vendor
Consolidation into a single optimized agreement — better commercial terms, cleaner administration, fewer renewal cycles to manage.
02
License Intelligence

Know what you own

Unknown license exposure, an audit notice, or an inherited software estate nobody can fully account for. Forensic work on what you actually own and where the risk sits — before a vendor does it for you.

Nobody knows what software they own
Entitlement audit, usage reconciliation, and license baselining — reconcile what you bought against what you're actually using.
An audit notice just landed
Audit defense and a defensible entitlement position — get ahead of the vendor's numbers before you respond, not after.
03
Enablement

Build the capability in-house

You want the discipline and methodology inside your team rather than purchased per engagement. Training, coaching, and curriculum that installs a repeatable sourcing operating model.

Your team runs deals, but not the same way twice
Playbooks, templates, and a repeatable operating model so outcomes don't depend on who's in the room.
You'd rather own the capability than rent it
Hands-on coaching and mentorship on live deals — a senior practitioner alongside your team, not a slide deck.
Procurement policy isn't sticking
Case-study-driven training that changes how people actually buy — not just what the policy manual says.

Not sure which one fits?

Most engagements start with a 30-minute conversation about the deal, the deadline, and the constraint. No pitch, no proposal — just whether I can help.
