Contract Intelligence · Preis Consulting

This is what commercial
intelligence looks like in practice.

The procurement era was built on process. This tool is built on leverage. Tell us about your deal — we'll show you exactly where you stand, what to push, and what the vendor across the table already knows that you don't.

Instant Strategy
Complete negotiation package in seconds. Calibrated to your vendor, your spend, your risk posture.
How It Works

Three inputs. A complete commercial position.

Most businesses walk into vendor negotiations without a position. This tool builds one — in seconds, calibrated to your specific deal.

01
Tell Us About the Deal
Answer questions about the contract type, spend level, your risk tolerance, and what matters most. No procurement background needed. The questions are built to surface what the scoring engine needs, not to test your knowledge.
02
We Build Your Strategy
The engine scores your position across six dimensions — cost, legal, data, performance, flexibility, and governance — and assembles a complete negotiation package calibrated to your stance. Vendor-specific. Deal-specific. Yours.
03
Execute With Leverage
Take the strategy into any AI tool with your contract. Paste it, upload your document, and hit send. Walk into the negotiation knowing exactly what to push, what to protect, and what the vendor's playbook looks like from the other side of the table.
What You Get

A complete negotiation package. Not a summary.

Everything a seasoned procurement leader would walk into a vendor negotiation with — in one strategy, built for your deal.

Deal Snapshot

Plain-English summary of the deal — overall risk level, what a realistic win looks like, and what you'd be walking away from if you signed today as-is.

Vendor Leverage Analysis

How this specific vendor negotiates — their known tactics, where they have room, and exactly where your leverage is. Not generic. Specific to who's across the table.

Clause-by-Clause Analysis

Every key clause benchmarked against best-practice thresholds — with plain-English gaps, what they mean in practice, and exactly what needs to change.

Redlines

Paste-ready contract language for every high-priority gap. Written in plain English. Send them directly to the vendor — no attorney needed to decipher them.

Negotiation Scripts

Step-by-step: what to say, what the vendor will say back, and what your fallback position is at each stage. Tactical and sequenced — not theoretical.

Vendor-Ready Email

A ready-to-send message that summarizes your required changes — written in confident procurement tone. Ends with a clear path to close.

Who This Is For

Built for operators. Not procurement departments.

CFOs managing vendor decisions without procurement support

Founders and operators negotiating contracts without anyone in their corner

VPs of Operations who know the vendor process is broken but can't get traction fixing it

PE-backed companies that need a fast commercial read on portfolio vendor spend

Procurement teams that need a consistent, scalable baseline for every deal they touch

Why It Exists

This tool is a proof of concept for a larger idea: commercial intelligence shouldn't require a department. It should be accessible to any operator, on any deal, at any scale.

The contract analysis tool is what that looks like for one deal. It's the same thinking we apply across entire spend portfolios — distilled into a single, usable strategy for the contract in front of you.

If it changes how you think about this one vendor, imagine what it looks like applied to every vendor you have. That's the conversation we're interested in having.

What's Next

One contract is a start.
Commercial architecture is the goal.

This tool handles one deal. What Preis Consulting does is build the system that handles all of them — and changes how your organization thinks about every dollar it spends.

Build
Commercial Architecture from Zero
No procurement function, or one that's more title than system. We build the playbook, the vendor portfolio, and the commercial capability your business should have had from the start.
Scale
From Tactical to Strategic
You have people doing procurement work. They're capable. But the function is still tactical — reactive, process-heavy, measured on the wrong things. We change the operating model without adding headcount.
Fix
Reset a Broken Function
The function exists. It's staffed. It has process. And it still isn't delivering. We do the honest audit, cut what doesn't belong, and rebuild around commercial outcomes instead of compliance theater.
