Twelve short research briefings that teach you to negotiate with Google end to end: how the estate is priced across Workspace, Cloud and the Gemini stack, how to prepare, where the leverage is, and the contract terms that outlast any discount. Two Redress advisors per episode, about four minutes each.
The map of the Google estate: three spend lines, three routes to buy, the December window, and the challenger economics that fund real discounts. Episode 1 of the twelve part buyer side series.
The 300 seat cliff, the exact 20 percent flexible premium, the Vault and storage gates, the January 2025 repricing template, and the renewal true down that is free money.
CUDs stack on private rates, the commit contract's three deciding clauses, support billed on list price, and the three layer AI bill with its double pay risk.
The billing export as ground truth, assigned against active seats, commitment coverage measured honestly, AI burn from pilots not forecasts, and the one page evidence file.
Discount benchmark bands by seat count and commit size, the priced alternative that moves the deal desk, the target term sheet, the walk away test, and the CFO memo that closes the side door.
The nine month calendar backwards from signature, one voice at the table, sequencing three deals as one campaign, the channel decision, and reading your telemetry before Google narrates it.
Five moves Google runs in almost every account: land and expand credits, quarter end pressure, the engineered renewal cliff, deadline theater, and eligibility policing, each with the counter that works.
Open with the edition mix, anchor the unit price against a real alternative, cap the mechanisms that move price later, trade term for protection, and land the endgame on your paper.
Size the commit below the forecast, win shortfall relief before the number, stack private rates with CUDs, contain the AI lines with scoped seats and spend caps, and write the exit at signature.
Fee change rights, SLA credits rewritten into real remedies, exit rights negotiated at signing, sovereignty commitments contracted, and the eligibility clauses that behave like audit rights.
The realization gap between paper rate and ledger rate, the monthly FinOps rhythm, the account team managed on your calendar, AI caps and routing reviews, and the evidence file that keeps the next deal warm.
A composite engagement run end to end: a Workspace renewal, an 8 million dollar Cloud commit, and a Gemini proposal sequenced into one December campaign, and the preparation that paid for all of it.
