Supplier asks +8%
Whispor identifies where the proposal departs from historical rates and negotiates the components that matter.
What a first pass over a rate card surfaces.
Fourteen lines worth challenging, and the evidence behind each.
Rate history, market benchmark and committed volume, applied line by line.
$184K of addressable variance across the lines flagged.
Not every variance deserves the same authority.
Three kinds of evidence decide whether a line is worth challenging. A line-level matrix then decides who gets to settle it.
Rate history
What this supplier charged before, and what moved it.
Market benchmark
Where the proposed rate sits against comparable work.
Volume
What the committed volume was worth, and whether it held.
| Variance | Authority |
|---|---|
| Up to benchmark +1% | Auto-accept |
| +1% to +4% | Buyer review |
