The Questions That Keep CTOs Up at Night

10 Questions Every Organization Is Asking Right Now

These aren't hypothetical. They're the questions we hear every week from Fortune 500 CTOs, infrastructure VPs, and procurement leads. Each one is validated by people who've gone through that exact transaction in the last 90 days.

Recognize your question? Every answer we give is backed by someone who closed that exact deal in the last 90 days. Not a model. Not a forecast. A person who sat across the table and signed.

How It Works

Machines Do the Homework. Humans Close the Deal.

AI is brilliant at pattern recognition, benchmarking, and anomaly detection. But deals are closed by people who understand leverage, relationships, and timing. We bring both.

01

AI Studies the Process

Our intelligence engine analyzes your current contracts, benchmarks them against live market data, and identifies every gap, overpayment, and missed clause. The machine does the homework.

02

Humans Validate the Strategy

We connect you with enterprise buyers who closed the same deal in the last 90 days. Real people. Real outcomes. No theoretical frameworks — just battle-tested intelligence.

03

Transaction Architects Close the Deal

Our team finds the leverage, structures the negotiation, and gets you the deal you deserve. We've brokered $24B+ in IT decisions. We know where every provider's margin lives.

What We Do

Transaction Architecture for Every Deal Type

We grade, benchmark, audit, locate, and strategize across every kind of infrastructure deal — from a single edge cabinet to a 100MW AI campus.

Deal Structure Grading

We grade every deal structure — colo, cloud, managed, hybrid, edge — against 315 variables. Pricing, terms, SLAs, exit clauses, escalation triggers. You see exactly where you have leverage and where you're exposed.

Every deal. Every structure. Graded.

Benchmark Pricing Intelligence

The SPY Index holds 24 years of transaction data — 150K+ quotes across 350+ vendors in 80 countries. We don't estimate. We show you what the last 50 buyers actually paid for the same configuration in the same metro.

150K+ quotes · 350+ vendors · 80 countries

SLA & MSA Auditing

We tear apart your SLAs and MSAs clause by clause. Uptime definitions, credit structures, force majeure, auto-renewal traps, price escalation — we find the landmines before they detonate.

Clause-by-clause. No surprises.

Data Center Location Intelligence

Find and evaluate data centers globally — edge, core, AI-ready. We map power costs, latency profiles, interconnection density, permitting timelines, and sustainability metrics across 300+ metros.

300 metros · 50+ countries · Real-time

Growth Strategy & Roadmapping

Where should your infrastructure be in 3 years? We build technology roadmaps that account for AI workload growth, edge expansion, cloud repatriation, and sustainability mandates — so you're never locked in.
