Pricing / built around outcomes
Pricing that follows the savings.
Nulldue charges 25% of first-year realized savings, invoiced on contract execution. Savings are measured against a per-vendor baseline agreed and documented in writing before work begins. There is no separate upfront project fee or retainer required.

25%
The equation
First-year realized savings × 25% = Nulldue fee
25% of first-year realized savings, invoiced on contract execution.
01 / Contingency fee
The fee is earned, not estimated.
Before work begins, we agree and document a per-vendor baseline in writing. The fee is 25% of first-year realized savings, invoiced on contract execution. It is calculated on the savings measured against that baseline.
No separate project fee
Start a review without approving an additional consulting project budget.
Per-vendor baseline in writing
The comparison point is agreed and documented before work begins.
No retainer required
The initial review is outcome-based; ongoing support is optional.
02 / The math in practice
One renewal. A number everyone can audit.
These illustrative examples show how the fee follows realized savings, not the total spend under review.

03 / Optional ongoing support
Keep renewals from becoming fire drills.
For teams that want a standing owner for every renewal, Nulldue offers Renewal Management as an optional monthly retainer. It is separate from the contingency fee and never required to begin a review.
Start with one renewal. Add the retainer only when ongoing coverage is useful.
Questions we hear
Clear terms. No mystery math.
What does Nulldue review?
Nulldue reviews vendors, owners, renewal dates, commitments, contracts, usage, licenses, pricing, and overlap across your SaaS and cloud portfolio. The goal is to see what is renewing, what the business uses, and where the commercial terms no longer match the operating reality.
What are the four steps in the process?
The process moves through discovery and spend inventory, a contract-and-usage audit, vendor negotiation, and optional ongoing renewal management. Each step connects the next renewal to a documented baseline and a decision the finance team can defend.
What does a finance team need to provide?
Start with a renewal calendar, a vendor list, relevant contracts, usage or license counts, and pricing or renewal quotes when available. You do not need a perfect data room: Nulldue can begin with the next renewal and fill gaps as the baseline takes shape.
How does timing work?
Nulldue sequences the work around the next renewal, the vendor's notice windows, and when the relevant materials are ready. That means the review is shaped by material readiness and commercial deadlines rather than a promised fixed duration.
How are savings measured?
Before work begins, Nulldue and the client agree and document a per-vendor baseline in writing. The comparison is then made against first-year realized savings, so the fee follows the change from the documented renewal position rather than the total contract value.
How does the savings-share fee work?
Nulldue charges 25% of first-year realized savings, invoiced on contract execution. There is no separate upfront project fee. The fee is calculated on savings measured against the agreed per-vendor baseline.
What outcomes can the review support?
Where the review supports it, the outcome may be right-sizing, consolidation, renegotiation, or cancellation. Nulldue’s two published case studies are illustrative scenarios, clearly labelled as such; they show the comparison from baseline to renewed spend rather than promising a result for every portfolio.
Who is the diagnostic for?
The diagnostic is for finance leaders at companies with meaningful SaaS and cloud commitments, typically organizations with 200 to 2,000 employees. It is a fit when the team needs a clearer view of vendors, renewal timing, usage, and commercial leverage.
How does Nulldue approach sensitive spend and contract information?
Nulldue starts by requesting only the relevant materials needed to establish the baseline. If you have detailed questions about what to share or how a specific document should be handled, use the diagnostic conversation to agree the right scope before sending more information.
Does Nulldue stay involved after the first review?
Yes, if ongoing coverage is useful. An optional monthly Renewal Management retainer can provide a renewal watchlist, decision-ready reviews, and negotiation support so the portfolio stays visible between renewal windows.
