Do you replace our procurement team?
No. We work alongside it, change the way categories are run, and hand back a stronger operating rhythm.
How fast does the score move?
It depends on the category mix and contract cycles. The cycle is built to show measurable movement within the first annual pass.
Which categories do you start with?
The ones the diagnostic shows carry the largest score gap and the most addressable spend.
Begin with a spend diagnostic, then run the Category Program.
The diagnostic decides. Everything else follows.
A senior advisor reviews every submission. The right person responds to the mandate, not a form.
