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 1

We 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 2

We 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 3–4

You 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.'

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.

Common questions

How much time does this take from our team?

8–10 hours total, spread across a few short interviews and two calls. We do the heavy lifting. Most work is asynchronous.

Do you need admin access?

No. Read-only access or simple exports (CSV, PDF) are enough. We never touch production data or customer content.

What if we already have a tool inventory?

We validate it against actual usage and renewals — and fill the gaps. Most inventories are outdated the moment they're created. We turn yours into something you can actually use.

Most teams have. There's a spreadsheet somewhere. The problem isn't starting — it's finishing. And validating. And keeping it current. We've done this 50+ times. We know where the gaps hide.

Can you work with distributed or international teams?

Yes. Local tools and distributed teams are included in the scope.

You keep everything — the decision horizon, executive briefs, and software access. You can execute internally or continue with Quarterly Decision Coverage for ongoing preparation. No obligation either way.
