What this says
As at Fri 9 Oct 2026Lewis Kerr walked Warren Petrie and Brooke Dawson through the Starter proposal on 26 Mar 2026. Price, support, term and the first-year discount were the questions. No commitment was made; Warren said they would sit with it.
What happened: Lewis took Warren and Brooke through the proposal sent the day before. It was a Starter offer at £6,000 implementation and £22k a year, in advance.
Customer view: Warren pressed on whether the price was all-in, on adding users or connectors, and on what happens if a connector fails. Brooke asked about support, service credits and the discount.
Commercial: Lewis said the discount applies to year one only and the renewal returns to list price. Lewis also said additional connectors might be cleaner under Growth, so an upgrade path was raised.
Watch: The proposal is an open item, not a contract. Warren ended with "Let me sit with this and talk to Brooke", so the outcome is not shown in this call.

Transcript
- Lewis KerrHi Brooke, hi Warren. Thanks for joining. I sent the proposal over yesterday. Have you had a chance to review it?
- Warren PetrieYeah, I've had a look. Let me ask a few questions.
- Lewis KerrSure, fire away.
- Warren PetrieSo the implementation fee is £6,000, and then £22,000 a year. Just want to clarify: is that all-in, or are there additional fees?
- Lewis KerrThat's all-in for your first year. So £6,000 implementation, which covers four weeks of our time and the setup of your four connectors. And then £22,000 annual subscription in advance. After the first year, it's just the annual fee, assuming your tier and connectors don't change.
- Warren PetrieOkay. And if we want to add more users or connectors down the line?
- Lewis KerrAdditional users, we can add anytime for a small pro-rata fee. Additional connectors, we'd need to talk through, you might find it cleaner to upgrade to Growth, which gives you more flexibility. But let's not worry about that now. We can grow you as you need.
- Brooke DawsonAnd the support? What's included?
- Lewis KerrQuarterly check-ins with a customer success manager. Technical support during business hours, we respond to tickets within four business hours. And your data refreshes every night. There's a written SLA, all in the proposal.
- Warren PetrieWhat about if the connectors fail or something breaks?
- Lewis KerrWe monitor them. If a connector stops loading data, which usually means something changed on your end in the source system, we alert you. We'll troubleshoot and fix it, usually within a day or two. Service credit if we miss the SLA.
- Brooke DawsonWhat's a service credit?
- Lewis KerrIf we breach the availability SLA, which is 99.5% uptime, you get a credit against your next invoice. For Starter, it's 5% of one month's fee per breach.
- Warren PetrieOkay. And the contract term?
- Lewis Kerr12 months from signature. Automatically renews unless either of us gives 90 days' notice. We send a renewal notice three months before it expires, so you'll have time to think about it.
- Brooke DawsonGot it. One thing, we saw a discount on the proposal. Can you walk us through that?
- Lewis KerrYeah. So list price for Starter is £22,000. We've given you a discount on the first year, it's noted on the proposal. That discount applies only to year one. When you renew next year, you go back to list price, which by the way increases by a small amount annually, but we'll talk you through that when the time comes.
- Warren PetrieFair enough. So what happens next?
- Lewis KerrYou review with your team, get internal sign-off if you need it. Then we send you an order form: that's a legal document, one page, sets out the terms. You sign and send it back, and we've got a contract. Implementation starts as soon as we get signed credentials from your IT team and we're ready to go.
- Brooke DawsonHow long does all that take? The paperwork?
- Lewis KerrIt can be quick. Usually a few days for the order form to come back signed. Once it's signed, we're live within four weeks of getting your systems access. So if you sign next week, you could be live in mid-April.
- Warren PetrieOkay. Let me sit with this and talk to Brooke. Are you available for any questions that come up?
- Lewis KerrAbsolutely. Email me, call me, whatever works. My goal is to make sure everything's clear and you're comfortable signing. Happy to clarify anything.
- Brooke DawsonThanks, Lewis.
- Warren PetrieCheers. We'll be in touch.
- Lewis KerrThanks. Speak soon.
