High cost of entry; typically requires $2M–$10M+ annual fees depending on scope and spend sizeLong sales cycles (3–6 months from RFP to signature) due to complexity and stakeholder alignmentLarge, geographically distributed delivery teams can be harder to manage and coordinate than smaller specialist boutiquesOutcome-based pricing can be complex to negotiate; disagreement on baseline or savings measurement methods is commonMay be oversized for smaller/mid-market organizations or tactical, shorter-term engagementsTop Pros
