02The problem

Every large company overpays its suppliers. Not through carelessness, but because purchasing complexity outgrows financial controls.

Duplicate invoices slip past the systems built to catch them. Rebates are negotiated and never collected. A supplier raises prices mid-contract, and the next invoice is never reconciled against the agreement. Credits sit unclaimed on vendor statements for years. Each error is small on its own. Together, they amount to a recurring tax on the enterprise.

03An industry proved it, then froze

The traditional model is paid to find errors. It has no incentive to prevent them.

Recovery auditing has existed since the 1970s. The practice is so established that large retailers routinely engage two firms at once. A primary auditor sweeps first, and a secondary firm is paid a higher rate to audit behind it, because no single review catches everything.

The pricing model carries a built-in contradiction. The auditor keeps a percentage of every error found, which means every error prevented is revenue lost. Fifty years on, the industry finds the same errors at the same clients, year after year. Its work still depends on thousands of analysts reviewing data that is months old by the time it arrives. That work no longer requires people.

06The inversion
“We are the only auditor whose business improves when the errors stop.”

Traditional firms earn more when the same errors recur. Sticker earns more when they stop. The recovery audit proves our value in returned dollars, and continuous monitoring keeps the errors from coming back.
