Signs you're already in RESOLVE territory.

Scope has changed more than once — but no one has priced the changes yet.

You hear about slipped vendor dates after they've already slipped.

The counterparty has gone quiet — letters, not conversations.

Delayed project — 8 weeks behind, 14% over budget, 37 open decisions, confidence low Resolved project — 2 weeks early, 10% under budget, 0 critical decisions, confidence high Same project, two systems — delayed and over budget versus early and under

Same scope. Same contractors. Same budget. The only variable is the control around the work.

Find the leaks before they harden into losses.

Cut through the noise and diagnose your project in minutes — where margin is leaking, which commitments are slipping, and which disputes are forming while everyone's still being polite.

Built for project directors, commercial managers and owners on live projects where claims are building, procurement is slipping, and the commercials have started working against you.

By the time it's a claim, it's already a loss.
Margin leaks quietly — a scope change never priced, a vendor date that slipped, a decision left open. Each one is recoverable while it's still a gap. Most are only found once they've hardened into a dispute or an overrun.

Scored against the 5Cs Framework — the system used to recover stalled contracts and leaking margin on projects up to €2B across 30 countries. You get clear, actionable feedback on exactly where the money is going, and what to do about it.

Who this is for

If something is leaking.

01

Project directors with stalled contracts

Negotiations gone positional. Schedules slipping. Lawyers writing letters while the project bleeds.

02

Procurement & commercial leaders

Margin leaking through subcontractor agreements that worked once and don't anymore. You can see it. You can't yet stop it.

03

Owners, COOs & sponsors who inherited a mess

Commercial setups built by someone else, in a different phase of the business, signed before you arrived.

Proof

Proof from the field.

Energy · Belgium · €400M EPC

Major energy infrastructure — power plant FIDIC reset.

Situation

A €400M EPC negotiation stalled. The commercial position had hardened on both sides under mounting time pressure, and the working relationship was eroding. Multiple amendments had made the original commercial mechanism almost unreadable.

Intervention

Brought in to reset the commercial position under pressure. Reframed the dispute away from positions and back toward project value.

Outcome

Stalled negotiation unlocked. Commercial integrity preserved. The relationship survived the dispute — the harder of the two outcomes.

Before
  • Positions hardened on both sides
  • Mechanism buried under amendments
  • Relationship eroding
After
  • Dispute reframed to project value
  • Negotiation unlocked
  • Relationship preserved

A claim is just a leak
you found too late.

RESOLVE finds it while it's still a conversation — not a dispute.

If this became a claim next month, would it surprise you?

The best time to fix a contract is before it becomes a case.
