The Invisible Erosion

If you are a UK mid-market CEO, you are likely losing 9.2% of your annual revenue right now. This is not a guess; it is a benchmark. Contract leakage is the silent killer of the balance sheet. It is the gap between the value you negotiated and the value you actually realise.

Why Contracts Fail After the Signature

Most organisations treat a signed contract as a trophy to be archived. In reality, a signature is only the starting gun. Without active governance, value erodes through:

  1. Unmanaged Renewals. Missing a 90-day termination window on a legacy SaaS contract is pure waste.
  2. Invisible Obligations. If your PMO does not know what Legal promised, delivery will fail.
  3. Price Slippage. Unchecked indexation and missed volume discounts aggregate into significant losses.
