Decision Gate
3 business days after agreed inputs
Is there a case worth building?
You leave with
- A decision summary and stakeholder map
- Evidence gaps and preliminary value ranges
- A recommendation on the next step
Discuss your opportunity +Your buyer wants the solution.
Finance needs a reason to invest.
Valcaren builds the buyer-specific financial model and executive case for B2B software, data and AI sales teams.
On-demand value engineering for
B2B software, data and AI vendors.
Bring Valcaren in when a buyer needs a business case and your team lacks the time or a dedicated value engineer.
Your account team brings the product knowledge, buyer context and available inputs.
We test the economics, build the model and prepare your champion for the investment discussion.
Already have the expertise and capacity internally? Use it. Valcaren fits when one opportunity needs focused work that your team cannot cover.
A model Finance can inspect. Sources your champion can trace. Materials they can take into the decision room.
Read a sample executive memo.
Synthetic data; not a client engagement.
The Approval Sprint starts with a paid assessment. The full build is a separate decision.

Scope and timing confirmed at the Gate
Build the case your buyer can defend.
Scope, timing and review responsibilities agreed before the Build.
The agreed start date, kickoff and minimum inputs: opportunity context, the decision process, available baseline information and access to authorized people. Missing data or reviews can move the delivery date.
Name one review owner, provide the existing discovery and available inputs, arrange agreed access and review the work. We define responsibilities and the work window before starting.
No. The Gate is a paid, standalone assessment. Continue only if the recommendation and scope make sense. We discuss fees in the fit conversation and confirm them in writing before either phase begins.
The software, data or AI vendor engages and pays Valcaren. Your account team retains the buyer relationship. Buyer-facing participation is agreed in scope; the buyer retains the investment decision. Valcaren is not an independent financial auditor.
Discuss the blocker and whether the Decision Gate fits.
An illustrative software investment case.
Separate capacity from cash, test the inputs and include the full buyer cost.

Tell us what is being evaluated and what Finance still needs answered. We assess whether a paid Decision Gate is the right next step.
