PRIVATE EQUITY
Lower-enterprise HCM software target, pre-LOI
$9.4M
Renewals worth $9.4M that the forecast carried as committed showed no commitment in the accounts’ own correspondence.
DECISION
The deal team used the evidence to challenge the forecast, cut its GRR assumption, and reprice the bid.
RESULT
Signed the LOI $14M below the IOI.
TECHNOLOGY
Global healthcare technology company, multi-product
36%
One product line generated 36% of all the friction accounts raised, putting about $80M in ARR at risk.
DECISION
Leadership put the rolled-up evidence in front of product owners for the first time and reopened roadmap priorities.
RESULT
Critical enhancements went from backlog to P1.
BUSINESS SERVICES
Performance marketing agency, about 1,000 clients
38%
The strongest signal before a cancellation was not complaints about the service but doubt about results, raised by 38% of at-risk accounts.
DECISION
Leadership replaced activity updates with ROI readouts that tied the work performed to each at-risk client’s results.
RESULT
30-day cancellations fell by a third within two quarters.
