What the Decision Review does
Most software decisions happen by accident — renewals arrive too late, overlaps calcify unnoticed, context leaves with people.
In 30 days, we surface what's coming: which renewals need attention, where overlap is forming, and which decisions will close soon. You walk away with a decision horizon, executive briefs for your highest-stakes decisions, and access to the software where it all lives.
This isn't inventory for inventory's sake. It's preparation for decisions you're already facing.
How the 30 days work
Consulting + software. Your context + our vendor intelligence. A fixed process that scales.
01Week 1We build your software inventory.
What we do
- Collect software, contracts, and renewals from available sources
- Build a best-effort inventory — what we can confirm, not assume
- Map renewal timelines with decision windows
What you provide
- One sponsor (Finance, IT, or Ops)
- SSO access or export
- Finance/AP export (CSV)
- Contract folder (if available)
Output
- ✓ Software inventory in Evale (best-effort, continuously improved)
- ✓ Renewal calendar showing when leverage opens and closes
02Week 2We apply vendor intelligence.
What we do
- Enrich your inventory with market data on 12,000+ software vendors
- Apply the Five Lenses: Economic Exposure, Strategic Fit, Entanglement, Stack Collision, Risk Profile
- Combine your company context with our vendor intelligence
- Shortlist 3–5 decisions that need attention now
What you provide
- Occasional clarifications on teams and owners
- One 30-min sparring session to prioritize decisions
Output
- ✓ Enriched inventory with vendor intelligence
- ✓ Decision shortlist with context and risk posture
03Week 3–4You walk out decision-ready.
What we do
- Produce 1–2 executive briefs for your highest-stakes decisions
- Each brief: situation, Five Lenses analysis, recommendations, negotiation levers
- Prepare the 60–90 min leadership review session
- Set up ongoing software access
Output
- ✓ Executive briefs (PDF) with recommendations
- ✓ Review session recording and summary
- ✓ Software access to the decision workspace
This fixed structure is why the Decision Review delivers decision readiness in 30 days.
What we need from you
Less than you think. We've done this with teams who had 'no documentation' and 'everything in someone's head.'
Data & Access (Read-Only)
Team Requirements
What you walk away with
Not a report that sits in a folder. Decision-ready assets — and ongoing access to where they live.
- A decision horizon — which renewals, overlaps, and risks are forming over the next 12–18 months
- 1–2 executive briefs — full decision framing for your highest-stakes situations
- Clear recommendations — timing, posture, and approach for each decision
- A 60–90 min review session — walking through what's forming with leadership
- Ongoing software access — your decisions, inventory, and briefs in one place
Decisions prepared — not discovered too late.
If renewals keep arriving faster than you can prepare, the Decision Review gives you early framing — while leverage is still open.
We'll tell you honestly if it is — or isn't.
What happens after 30 days?
You keep everything — the decision horizon, the briefs, the software access.
Some teams execute internally. Others continue with Quarterly Decision Coverage to keep the horizon current: quarterly reviews, rolling briefs, and preparation for decisions as they emerge.
No obligation. The Review stands on its own.
