The Deliverable

The Diagnostic Report

At the end of the process, you receive a structured written document — not a presentation, not a meeting. A report you can read, reference, and use as a foundation for your supplier conversations.

What the report is — and what it isn't

The diagnostic report is a factual document. It tells you what we found when we reviewed your supplier relationships, compared your prices to the market, and assessed your dependency risks. It doesn't tell you what to do — it gives you the information to decide for yourself.

The report is organized around findings, not recommendations. Each finding includes the relevant context: what the market shows, how your situation compares, and what specific points you could raise in a conversation with that supplier.

We don't negotiate on your behalf. We don't contact your suppliers. The report is yours — how you use it is your decision.

Report Contents

What the report covers

Six structured sections, each addressing a specific dimension of your supply chain.

Supplier Inventory

A complete list of your active suppliers organized by category, with current pricing, payment terms, delivery performance, and relationship duration documented for each.

Market Price Comparison

A category-by-category comparison of your purchase prices against observable market rates, with volume context and regional factors noted for each category.

Payment Term Analysis

An assessment of your current payment and delivery terms against market standards for your purchase volume, with identification of where terms deviate meaningfully.

Dependency Risk Map

A visual and written mapping of your single-supplier dependencies, categorized by operational criticality and accompanied by market alternative context.

Negotiation Leverage Points

The core deliverable: a prioritized list of specific leverage points available to your business, with the factual context needed to raise each point in a supplier conversation.

Priority Finding Summary

A one-page executive summary of the most significant findings — the areas where the gap between your current situation and market reality is largest.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

Who is this diagnostic for?

The diagnostic is designed for Argentine SMEs with established supplier relationships — businesses that have been operating for at least two years and have a defined set of regular suppliers. It's particularly relevant for businesses where procurement represents a meaningful share of operating costs.

What information do I need to provide?

We provide a structured intake questionnaire that covers your supplier list, purchase categories, approximate volumes, current pricing, and payment terms. Most of this information is available in your accounting or purchasing records. The questionnaire is designed to be completed without requiring significant time from your team.

Do you contact my suppliers during the process?

No. The entire analysis is based on information you provide and market data we research independently. We do not contact your suppliers, request information from them, or make any contact that could affect your existing relationships.

What happens after I receive the report?

That's entirely up to you. The report is yours to use as you see fit. Some clients use it as the basis for direct conversations with their suppliers. Others use it to prioritize which supplier relationships to review first. We include a brief walkthrough session to explain the findings, but the subsequent steps are your decision.

How long does the process take?

The timeline depends on the number of suppliers and categories involved, and on how quickly the intake information is provided. We'll give you a specific timeline estimate after reviewing your initial questionnaire.
