actually returns.

Client outcomes will be published here as clients agree to be named. Until then, this page shows the shape of the work rather than borrowed numbers.

TYPICAL RESULTS — FOR ILLUSTRATIVE PURPOSES

A full six-system review, end to end.

This is the document you receive: every system reviewed, what you pay now, what the market bid, and the difference. Including the categories where you are already priced correctly.

The figures above are a modelled example of a typical six-system review, not the results of a specific engagement.

WHY THIS PAGE IS SHORT

No invented case studies.

Plenty of firms in this category fill a results page with composite clients and rounded-up numbers. We would rather have a thin page than a fictional one, so this page stays sparse until a real client agrees to be written about.

When that happens you will get the whole thing — the category, the actual figures, what changed and what did not. If you would like to speak to a reference before committing to anything, ask, and we will arrange it directly rather than pointing at a testimonial.

WHERE THE MONEY USUALLY IS

Some categories move more than others.

Rough guidance on where a review tends to find room, based on how these markets are priced rather than on any particular engagement.

IT & TelecomUsually the largest gap. Legacy circuits, decommissioned services still billing, and copper lines carriers are retiring anyway.
Merchant ServicesEffective rate is where it hides. Tier downgrades and padded gateway fees rarely appear as a line called “markup”.
HR & PayrollMoves most at renewal, when the introductory PEO pricing resets and the real per-employee cost shows up.
Commercial InsuranceInertia is the expense. Programs that have not been rebid in years drift away from the market.
EnergyTiming matters more than negotiation. Contracting into the wrong part of the cycle costs more than any rate you argue for.
AP AutomationOften not a saving at all but a cost avoided — the platform replaces work rather than a line item.
