Run a Microsoft EA renewal like the consultancy you almost hired.

This is the real playbook our subscribers run, open on a fictional company’s estate and free to work end to end. It starts the way an engagement starts, with a discovery interview, then tailors all 18 screens to your answers: the savings moves re-rank, the levers arrive pre-set with the reasoning, and the negotiation plan prepares counters for the tactics you say Microsoft has used on you. Nothing is blurred, and your edits stay in your browser.

WHAT’S INSIDE
Discovery, like a real kickoff

17 interview questions with the why behind each. A live “what I’m hearing” panel plays the strategy back and commits to a posture, and every screen after carries your consultant’s read.

E5 right-profiling

Segments the E5 base by who actually touches an E5-exclusive workload, and prices the move to E3 plus E5 Security with zero capability loss for the security-only population.

The Copilot and Cowork decision

Adoption bands, the defensible true-down, the go or no-go banks, and the new Cowork credit meter: what agent tasks cost on top of every seat, and the five checks before any credit commitment.

The Azure MACC

Burn against the straight line, the shortfall landing, and the consumption-based next-term commit, with the play spelled out: commit to actuals, not aspiration.

Benchmarks and the table plan

Peer discount corridors by category, a position ladder with opening, fallback, and walk-away, and questions and counterplays tailored to the tactics you report.

The CFO business case

A waterfall from current spend to target position where every line traces to evidence, and an executive report that renders live from everything you did.

Now run it on your real EA.

A free workspace loads your own estate into this same playbook, adds the AI advisor and the generated executive reports, and benchmarks your position against 5,000 real EAs.
