What is this?
A subscription tool for UK SMB procurement and vendor-management leads (50-500 employee firms) who hold the renewal pen on 30-120 SaaS contracts worth £500k-£3M annually. When a vendor makes a written claim in a QBR, roadmap deck, sales email, or renewal proposal — 'Q3 feature ships', 'p95 latency under 200ms', 'support response within 4 hours', 'SOC2 audit by year-end', 'this objection is addressed in our new release' — the procurement lead pastes the quote plus vendor, contract, and target date into a 60-second form. AE's autopsy taxonomy resolves the claim 2-8 weeks later against externally-observable evidence: release notes, status pages, support ticket logs, audit attestations, the procurement lead's own incident records. The six patterns (especially Concession Laundering, Cosmetic Confidence, Temporal & Transmission Blindness) map directly onto vendor renewal rhetoric. At renewal, the procurement lead has structured evidence of which vendor promises landed, slipped, or quietly disappeared — defending or cutting spend on contracts the CFO is pressuring them to justify.
Why did we consider it?
AE's promise-grading taxonomy turns the 90-day SaaS renewal window into a structured evidence fight UK procurement leads can actually win, and the solo-operator delivery model fits the £100-300K ARR target.
