Deal size$500K–$1.4M
Pursuit cost$55K
Win probability30%
Estimate: Estimate. Pursuit cost is about 11 person-weeks of account, sponsor and SME time at a blended $5,000 per person-week. The entry offer itself is a fixed fee of roughly $70k, or an Accenture investment if the pursuit is contested. The deal range is the 12-24 month follow-on (the transformation that follows the strategy), scaled for a mid-size client from a reference range of $1.5-4M. It is not based on client budget data. Win probability of 30% is a planning assumption for a Diamond.
