What this says
Current to 11 Oct 26Brendan Moran, COO, wants to renew Growth from 1 Nov 2026 but questions the value of forty licences against just under ten active users. He called the £55,000 open deal considerably above the £46,800 now paid and will sign only a final form.
What happened: Lewis Kerr and Amara Obi walked Brendan Moran through the Growth renewal from 1 Nov 2026. The working target for agreed terms is 23 Oct 2026, which Brendan called a target, not a deadline.
Customer view: Brendan's main reservation is value. Amara put usage at just under ten active users against forty licensed, a little down on the previous quarter but steadier than the month before.
Commercial: Lewis said the open renewal deal is £55,000 in total, exclusive of VAT, and not a yearly price. Brendan set it against the £46,800 paid now and asked what is recurring, what is one-off and what a smaller scope would look like.
Watch: Brendan will not sign a draft and wants previous terms kept where the new document is silent. The evidence does not show whether the breakdown and reduced scope version were sent, or Brendan's response.

Follow-up
Next steps
Current to 9 Oct 26- Lewis Kerr to send the line-by-line breakdown and a reduced scope version, separating recurring from one-off charges.
- Amara Obi to send the usage picture and the plan for bringing in claims and compliance.
- Brendan Moran to review and give a view, ahead of the 23 Oct 2026 target for agreed terms.
Risks
Current to 9 Oct 26- Usage of just under ten active users against forty licensed weakens the case for the current Growth scope.
- The customer sees the £55,000 open renewal deal as hard to reconcile with lower usage and the £46,800 paid now.
- The 23 Oct 2026 target for agreed terms may slip, as Brendan would not promise a view before seeing the reduced version.
Opportunities
Current to 9 Oct 26- Bringing compliance and claims into the brain could strengthen the case for the current scope.
- A clear line-by-line split of recurring and one-off charges could rebuild trust in the number.
