GC Procurement Maturity Model
15 enterprise GCs scored across five maturity stages. Team size, program structure, leadership, launch date, revenue, and vertical mix. The only cross-firm procurement capability dataset in construction.
Margin Migration Model
Estimates addressable procurement volume and margin capture potential by GC, vertical, and maturity stage. The model behind the $7.3B headline figure. Calibrated against validated Stage 3-5 programs.
Procurement Capability Curve
Benchmarks hours-per-procurement-package across four technology eras. Powers the Procurement Scissors: the crossing point where centralized procurement costs less per project dollar than decentralized.
OEM Channel Intelligence
Tracks which OEMs are shifting from field-level to corporate-level GC relationships. Rep firm density, corporate account programs, MSA structures, and channel preference indicators.
