Decision Gate

Is there a case worth building?
You leave with

- Preliminary value ranges and evidence to obtain
- A written recommendation: build, reformulate or stop
Discuss your deal +Help your buyer make the case
for investing in your solution.
Valcaren works alongside B2B software, data and AI sales teams to turn one live opportunity into a financial case their buyer can evaluate and defend.
On-demand value engineering for
B2B software, data and AI vendors.
A logistics company is evaluating planning software. What could the investment be worth?
Bring us in when the value is hard to quantify, your champion needs an internal investment case, or your value engineering team needs extra capacity.
Your account team owns the relationship, product expertise and discovery. One review owner coordinates the available inputs and buyer access.
We organize the evidence, test the economics and prepare the executive materials. You get focused value engineering for one opportunity without adding a permanent role.
Have the expertise and bandwidth in-house? Your team may be the right choice. Valcaren adds dedicated execution when the opportunity needs more than your team can cover.
Built around your buyer’s costs, operating reality and decision process. Each deliverable answers a question the buying team needs resolved.
Explore excerpts from one synthetic case.
Client engagements use the buyer’s own inputs.
Start with a paid Decision Gate. Find out what supports the case, what is missing and whether a full build is worth pursuing.

Scope and timing confirmed at the Gate
Build the case your buyer can defend.
Scope, timing and review responsibilities agreed before the Build.
Your written assessment, preliminary ranges and evidence gaps remain useful to your team. You can pursue the missing inputs, reshape the proposal or stop investing in an unsupported case. There is no obligation to buy the Build.
Expect a kickoff, access to existing discovery and baseline data, and review by one named owner. We handle the modeling and drafting. We agree review points and buyer-facing participation before starting; the Build includes a 60-minute executive rehearsal.
The Gate takes three business days from the agreed start, once kickoff and minimum inputs are complete. The Build has its own written scope, delivery date and review responsibilities. Missing inputs or delayed reviews can move the dates.
The Gate is a paid, standalone assessment. We confirm its fee in writing before starting. If you continue, the Build is quoted separately against the agreed scope.
The B2B software, data or AI vendor engages and pays Valcaren. Your team keeps the buyer relationship; the buyer retains the investment decision. Buyer-facing work is agreed in scope. Valcaren is not an independent financial auditor.
Discuss the opportunity, the unanswered value question and whether the Gate fits.
A software vendor is selling planning software to a logistics company. Valcaren’s role: help the vendor build the buyer’s investment case. This example uses invented companies and inputs.

how the case is built.
In our first conversation, we review the opportunity, identify the economic questions still open and assess whether the paid Decision Gate makes sense.
