Normalize the commercial response
- Use one user and usage forecast for both quotes.
- Separate recurring licenses, usage, implementation, support, dependent tools, and administration.
- Record renewal notice, price change, downgrade, export, and termination-assistance terms.
- Model the expected case and a stress case instead of relying on the first-year headline.
