Pre-Settlement Negotiation Playbook
Strong negotiation usually comes from clarity, not volume. Buyers who present a concise, cost-aware list of material issues tend to have better conversations than buyers who forward an entire report and ask for a discount.
Why the structured output helps
FixFigure helps turn the report into:
- a priority-ranked list
- indicative cost framing
- a cleaner separation between real risk and normal upkeep
That creates a more usable basis for vendor discussions.
