The best deal is not always the best decision.
Why a company needs to compare combinations of work, not rank accounts in isolation.
Every recommendation has an opportunity cost.
A large deal can consume the delivery team needed to finish a promised renewal and release two smaller orders. Looking at each account separately hides the shared constraint.
Existing commitments are not optional capacity.
The company may already have accepted a delivery date or remediation obligation. A stronger-looking opportunity does not silently release that commitment. A revised agreement is a separate decision.
A route can be worth more than its direct result.
A delivery partner may cost more cash but free internal capacity. Those recovered days can support another outcome. Compare the effect on the whole combination rather than the price of the partner alone.
New evidence changes the feasible set.
A buyer accepts a purchasing condition. A supplier loses capacity. A technical dependency resolves. Those observations can change what the company should do now, including which work should remain deferred.
The choice should be inspectable.
Show the selected work, its costs and resource use, the obligations it preserves and the alternatives it rejects. Then follow the plan through approval, execution and evidence of the actual result.

Change the conditions in the demo. Follow what changes in the plan and the result.
