02 The 12 recovery levers
Where value leaks.
Every contract is tested against the same twelve levers. Each finding is tied to an invoice line or a clause.
- 01
Unwanted services
Services still billed that you no longer need or asked to stop.
- 02
Oversold scope
Capacity, tiers or service levels sold beyond what you use.
- 03
Unused licences
Licences assigned and paid for that nobody uses.
- 04
Duplicate services
The same capability bought twice, from one supplier or two.
- 05
Stranded services
Charges for sites, assets or users that have gone.
- 06
Unclaimed credits and rebates
Service credits and rebates the contract gives you, never claimed.
- 07
Price and indexation errors
Rates and annual uplifts that don't match the contract.
- 08
Unsupported charges
Invoice lines with no basis in the contract or an agreed change.
- 09
Renewal traps
Auto-renewals and notice periods that lock in cost.
- 10
Undrawn entitlements
Training, service hours or funding paid for but not used.
- 11
Volume and tier misalignment
Price bands that no longer reflect your real volumes.
- 12
Terms to fix at renewal
Weak clauses to put right before you sign again.
03 Measuring value
How we measure value.
We agree the baseline with finance first. Then we report each kind of value separately, so nothing is double-counted.
One baseline. Three kinds of value.
Baseline agreed with finance
What you pay today, agreed with your finance team before we start.
Hard savings
A lower recurring cost against the baseline.
Cost avoidance
Increases that would have happened, and now won't.
One-off recoveries
Credits, refunds and rebates recovered once.
Confidence levels: from Identified to Realised.
Every finding carries a confidence level, so you always know how firm a number is.
Identified
We have found a likely issue in the invoices or the contract.
Validated
The evidence is checked against invoice lines and contract clauses, and the service owner confirms it.
Agreed
You approve the action and your finance team accepts the value.
Realised
The saving or recovery shows in your invoices, confirmed by finance.
