The estimator returns three numbers. The auditor's opening position at the contracted overage band, the defended settlement lower bound observed on the Desk's verified contracts at large enterprise scale, and the defended settlement upper bound observed on the same data set. The envelope between the lower and upper bound is the band buyers most often land inside on a defended audit posture. Use the estimator to scope the conversation. Use the linked contact form to obtain a buyer specific reconciliation against contracted entitlement.
The PDF detail report sets out the auditor's likely workplan, the entitlement reconciliation checklist by product family, the scope discipline lines the buyer should hold, and the typical defended settlement ladder observed on signed audit cases in 2026.

Auditor opening position prices the overage at the contracted overage band for the product family, with an uplift for combined entitlement complexity. The opening position is the auditor's typical first letter, not a negotiated position.
Defended settlement lower and upper bounds reflect the range observed across the Desk's verified data on signed enterprise audit settlements at large enterprise scale in 2026. The defended posture sits at 30 to 70 percent of the auditor's opening position on a typical case, with the lower bound achievable where entitlement records are complete and the upper bound where records require reconstruction.
Indicative risk band combines the overage ratio against entitlement, the recency of the last reconciliation, and the combined entitlement complexity into a single low, mid, or high indicator. The risk band does not replace a buyer specific reconciliation against contracted entitlement and deployed configuration.
