Pay-As-You-Save · Performance-Backed Cost Engineering

Stop negotiating quotes. Start negotiating costs.

Your suppliers know exactly what each part truly costs to make. We make sure you do too — then engineer your way to it. Paid only from the savings.

The problem

Half your cost-saving ideas never reach the P&L.

Three reasons buyers lose the savings they fight for. We built the company to fix all three.

ROOT CAUSE

70%

of your cost is hidden

A quote shows the price — not why it's that high. Material, labor, overhead, profit, and waste are all hidden inside it.

MECHANISM

80%

of contracts go to the supplier you already have

Switching suppliers is hard and risky, even when a cheaper one exists. So the incumbent keeps winning — and you overpay 10–20%.

FAILURE POINT

50%

of savings erode within 18 months

Prices don't stay low. Inflation, surcharges, and renegotiations push them back up — until the savings you fought for are gone.

How it works

Diagnose. Source. Implement.

DIAGNOSE

Engineering Intelligence

Break the part down to its actual cost — by process, material, region. Eleven cost drivers, rebuilt from a clean sheet, benchmarked against your quote.

SOURCE

Supply Chain Transformation

Light up alternatives. RFQs go out to 4,500+ verified suppliers on every continent that builds — and real quotes come back.

IMPLEMENT

Implementation & Value Capture

Drive savings into the P&L. Qualified, transitioned, audited — hit target in 3–6 months.

Engagement flexibility

Whoever owns the IP, we can cost it.

Most cost-engineering firms only work where they have the drawings. We operate across every IP regime — from your fully-owned designs to a supplier’s black-box assembly we’ve never seen the spec for.

OPEN BOX

Proprietary designs

Component drawings & specifications owned by you. The full data room is open to us.

▸Transmissions, CVT / clutch systems
▸Chassis & engine blocks
▸Aesthetic body panels

GLASS BOX

Shared specs

Assemblies, tooling, drawings & specs shared with your tier‑1s — we work with both sides.

▸Seat & steering assemblies
▸Wire harnesses
▸Precision gears & structural castings

GREY BOX

Co‑development

Shared ownership of designs, specs & tooling between you and the supplier.

▸Displays & control modules
▸Shocks & joysticks
▸ECUs & braking systems

BLACK BOX

Supplier‑owned

Parts, tooling, drawings & specs owned by the supplier. We cost it without your data.

▸Standard electrical (batteries, sensors, LEDs)
▸Standard hardware (fasteners, rivets)
▸Spark plugs & sensors

Across every IP regime — reverse-engineered should‑cost models, supplier-anonymous benchmarking, or fully open data rooms. The output is the same: a defensible cost number you can negotiate from.

Tariff Optimization

Cheaper sourcing — even after tariffs.

A $0.26 Taiwan fastener with a 52% tariff. We found 23% savings anyway — and the same model runs for every other commodity in your BoM. Pick a part. Watch the math.

Procurement VPs who’ve seen the math.

“CSC’s open-book model showed us we were overpaying by 19% on transmission castings. The spreadsheet was hard to argue with. $4.2M saved in the first year.”

VP, Indirect Procurement

Automotive OEM

“They didn’t ask for a retainer. Didn’t even ask for a contract. They asked for our top 5 parts — and came back with a number that defunded my next supplier audit.”

Director, Strategic Sourcing

Aerospace / Heavy-Equipment OEM

“What we got back wasn’t a quote — it was an education on our own product. We rewrote three RFPs the next week.”
