Economic mechanism
Causal chain, not certainty — each step carries the variable it moves
- 1
Total contract value adds to the deal pipeline
Demand TCV converts to revenue over the contract term
- 2
Revenue conversion is back-ended in modernisation deals
Volume Transition periods usually carry lower margin
- 3
Margin profile depends on the managed-services mix
Margin Large deals are often margin-dilutive in year one
Counter-effect
Large TCV wins in a weak discretionary environment can be renewals rather than incremental spend.
