      Negotiate annual contracts upfront with projected employee headcount to
      lock in favorable per-employee rates.
  - description: >-
      Bundle multiple modules in a single contract negotiation to achieve
      volume discounts.
  - description: >-
      Evaluate whether all HR modules are required or if a subset covers
      your use case to reduce subscription scope.
  - description: >-
      Plan API integration scope early to minimize implementation costs and
      avoid expensive rework during deployment.
