This is not a service relationship
We do not provide ongoing energy management, brokerage, or advisory services.
We run time-bounded interventions designed to correct specific structural problems, verify that the correction is real, remove any exposure created by that correction, and ensure the issue cannot recur at renewal.
Each phase is:
- Evidence-led
- Separately approved
- Separately paid
- Completed before the next begins
What happens after mandate signature
Once a mandate is signed, we take responsibility for identifying and correcting the issue — not advising on it.
There is no “analysis phase” sold separately.
Work begins immediately.
Phase 1 — Energy Cost Correction (mandatory entry)
This phase exists to answer one question:
Where is the money wrong — and can it be fixed?
What we do:
- Review current and historic contracts
- Analyse invoices and billing logic
- Identify structural overpayment or misapplication
- Challenge suppliers directly
- Secure refunds, credits, or corrected pricing
- Verify the correction via invoices or binding contract terms
What we do not do:
- Benchmark pricing
- Provide market commentary
- Recommend suppliers
- Manage energy on an ongoing basis
A correction is only considered complete when it is verifiably live.
How Phase 1 fees work
Fees are calculated as a percentage of Verified First-Year Financial Correction.
This consists of:
- Historic refunds or credits recovered, plus
- The first 12 months of corrected ongoing cost
Fees are only invoiced when one of the following exists:
- A corrected invoice
- A supplier credit or refund
- An unconditional, binding contract confirmation
If the correction cannot be proven, no fee is triggered.
Phase 2 — Risk, claims & exposure correction (conditional)
This phase is only activated if Phase 1 creates or exposes risk.
Typical triggers include:
- Sustainability or ESG claims
- Certificate logic
- Disclosures to lenders, auditors, or investors
- Board-level scrutiny
This is not about being “greener”.
It is about defensibility.
What we do:
- Trace claims back to corrected supply
- Identify invalidated assumptions
- Correct or reissue claims where required
- Produce audit-ready documentation
- Define liability boundaries clearly
This phase removes exposure created by correction — it does not generate savings.
How Phase 2 fees work
Phase 2 is priced as a fixed, one-off risk resolution fee.
The fee reflects:
- Complexity of exposure
- Scope of correction required
- Documentation and audit readiness
Fees are agreed before work begins.
Phase 3 — Renewal control (preventative)
This phase exists to ensure the problem cannot reappear at renewal.
We do not:
- Run tenders
- Act as brokers
- Negotiate price on your behalf
What we do:
- Freeze renewal assumptions before pricing exists
- Define non-negotiable structural rules
- Sanity-check pricing logic (not just headline price)
- Eliminate ambiguity before signature
- Verify billing implementation matches intent
Execution is handled by:
- Your existing broker (within defined constraints), or
- Your internal team, or
- A replacement broker in exceptional cases
How Phase 3 fees work
Renewal control is priced as a fixed preventative fee, paid before execution.
This is payment for problems prevented, not savings proven.
What you are not buying
To avoid confusion, we are explicit about what this engagement does not include:
- No hours
- No retainers
- No ongoing management
- No free analysis
- No benchmarking
- No competitive tendering
Once the defined problem is resolved, the engagement ends.
Evidence, authority & data handling
All work is conducted under a formal mandate governed by the laws of England & Wales.
The mandate provides:
- Explicit authority to engage suppliers
- Clear fee mechanics
- Defined data handling boundaries
- Evidence retention only for audit and invoicing
We act only where authority, urgency, and a defined problem exist.
The operating truth
In plain language:
We go into the contract, find where the money is wrong, fix it, make sure the fix shows up on the bill, remove any exposure created, and stop it happening again.
Nothing more. Nothing less.
