Why It Matters

Information asymmetry is the hidden tax on your win rate

When a rival wins a deal you never contested — or beats you with a partner you would have chosen first — the losing edge was usually information. They knew about the project earlier, understood the competitive set, or spotted the consortium opportunity before you.

The damage compounds: each loss strengthens their reference list, their relationship with the owner, and their intelligence on pricing — making the next win harder to defend.

✓
Losses are often information-driven: 10-25% of head-to-head defeats come from rivals being earlier, better partnered, or pricing with market knowledge you lacked.
✓
Equal visibility is defendable: A tracker surfaces the same projects, partners, and players at the same time — restoring parity.
✓
Defending is cheaper than winning back: Keeping a deal costs less than replacing the revenue with a new pursuit.
How It Works

Three steps to your number

01

Count lost deals

Head-to-head defeats where you were the runner-up.

02

Tag information-driven losses

10-25% of losses are typically information-driven.

03

Set defendable share

How many of those losses could equal visibility defend?

Methodology & assumptions

Run a loss review on head-to-head defeats and tag each where the rival was demonstrably in earlier, better partnered, or pricing with market knowledge.

Information-driven losses = Deals lost × Info-driven share
Defendable losses = Info-driven losses × Defendable share
Revenue defended = Defendable losses × Avg. contract value
Profit defended = Revenue defended × Margin
