Use the written offer and renewal terms, not the headline discount alone.
How to read the result
A headline discount is valuable only when the saving exceeds implementation cost and the renewal price still fits your operating budget.
Treat the switching-cost scenario as a stress test. Confirm price, taxes, cancellation notice, refund policy, and automatic renewal on the vendor's official terms before paying.

Does promotional saving equal long-term saving?
No. Compare the implementation cost, post-promotion price, required term, and cost of leaving across the full planning horizon.
Should migration and training be included?
Yes. They are real adoption costs even when the vendor does not invoice them directly.
How should annual billing be compared?
Convert it to a monthly equivalent, but also record the upfront cash commitment, refund policy, cancellation deadline, and renewal date.
