Precedent
What Precedent is
Precedent is a paid fractional deal desk for B2B SaaS teams. It turns the customer’s contracts, order forms, and won or lost deals from the last 24 months into a queryable history, then adds live context from Salesforce, Drive, Slack, Gmail, Gong, email, calls, transcripts, and account research. When a deal reaches approval, it delivers a one-page Deal Review Brief in Slack within two hours. Each brief compares the deal with prior company deals, flags pricing and term risks, and includes a recommendation signed by an operator. Redline Review retrieves counsel-approved fallback positions from resolved redlines, while new redlines go to counsel. Procurement Memory pre-fills questionnaires from approved prior answers while retaining source, date, and verifier. Connections are read-only and customer data does not train another desk. Pricing starts at $3,500 a month, with coverage for about 20 approval deals monthly; larger volumes are sized separately. There is no free plan or trial.
