What the Decoder Surfaces

Real contract values
Anonymous ACV data from Fortune 1000 and mid-market buyers — not vendor-published list prices.
Hidden fee ledger
Post-contract surprises documented by peers: professional services, module unbundling, forced upgrades.
Implementation reality
Actual go-live timelines vs. what the vendor promised in the sales cycle.
Renewal intelligence
Year-over-year price increase data and negotiation tactics that worked.
Peer satisfaction scores
Actual ROI ratings and marketing-vs-reality scores from verified CISO peers.
Helpful voting
Surface the most actionable entries. Community-ranked, not algorithm-ranked.
