Two pieces of absorbed scope are worth a change-order conversation, and Acme’s CFO has already named the next phase.

The team is delivering a second migration dry run and a weekly finance pack that the SOW doesn’t cover. Neither is large alone; together they’re margin going out unbilled on a fixed-fee phase. Separately, the CFO has put the two remaining plants on next year’s list, which is exactly the consolidation work you sell.

Second data-migration dry run

Promised in the delivery channel and now being scheduled. SOW §3.2 covers a single dry run before cutover.

Weekly finance pack for the new CFO

Produced every week since August. The SOW specifies a monthly steering report, not a weekly finance pack.

Can we keep getting the weekly numbers pack? It's been really useful.

Matched “ERP & systems consolidation”. A need that maps to nothing you sell is dropped, not listed.
What this is not
  • Not a sales script. It shows what the record says and leaves the conversation to you.
  • Never prices anything. The fee on every change order is left blank for the partner.
  • Doesn't write the proposal. A stated need goes to Proposal as a brief, through its own review.
