Margin leakage you can't see
Indexation never triggered. Service credits never claimed. Auto-renewals paid for years past usefulness. The CFO sees the symptoms, not the cause.
AI-augmented contract review and negotiation for defence, energy, infrastructure and technology. Fixed-fee. Two-week sprints. Senior-led — never a junior consultant fronted by a partner.
No day-rate creep. Scope and price agreed up front, in writing.
Board-ready commercial output, faster than hiring a Senior Commercial Manager.
Halves contract review time. ICO-aligned tooling. UK-hosted storage.
Senior commercial capability is expensive, scarce and uneven. Every quarter, deals worth millions land on a Sales Director's desk with no senior commercial professional to own them — only a legal team reviewing clauses, a procurement team running gates, and a partner whose price is moving.
Indexation never triggered. Service credits never claimed. Auto-renewals paid for years past usefulness. The CFO sees the symptoms, not the cause.
Senior Commercial Managers are scarce, expensive (£100k+ loaded), and the deal is closing this quarter. By the time the new hire is onboarded, the pricing window has shut.
Your supplier's commercial team has done this 50 times. Yours is doing it for the first time. Liability caps, indemnities and termination rights end up where the supplier wants them.
Your General Counsel is reviewing clauses for legal risk — not commercial outcome. Margin, payment terms, change-control mechanics and walk-away points need a different lens.
Most commercial advisory is sold by the day — open-ended scope, day-rate creep, ambiguous outputs. DealStruct is sold by the outcome. Pick the offer that fits the deal.
When you have one major deal closing this quarter.
When you have several deals stacking up at once.
When 50+ live contracts have become a black box.
When you need senior commercial input — but not a hire.
The senior commercial professional you would otherwise hire costs £100k–£170k loaded, takes four to six months to recruit, and locks you into a permanent commitment. DealStruct is the gap.
