What this says
As at Fri 9 Oct 2026Lewis Kerr sent a £26k Starter proposal. Fergal Lynch, Chief Executive, said it is more than he expected and wants a value case against manual work before signing. Lewis promised a summary the same day.
Ask: Lewis asked whether £26k was in range and hoped to have it signed by 13 Nov 2025. Fergal replied that he needs to see value against current manual spend before sign-off.
Customer view: the pushback is on price and value, not on the product. Fergal's last reply, "Fine", is curt and conditional.
Next: Lewis owes a written Starter summary with a manual-work comparison. The proposal is open, not signed.

- Lewis Kerr 19 Sep 2025 11:09Hi Caoimhe, Fergal, Thank you both for the discovery session. The figure for the Starter proposal is £25,500. Could you let me know whether this is in the range you were expecting? I'd like to have it signed by 13 Nov 2025 if possible. Kind regards, Lewis
- Fergal Lynch 24 Sep 2025 17:51Lewis, £25,500 is more than I expected to spend on this. I need to see the value against what we currently spend on manual work before I can sign it off. Send me a short summary of what Starter gives us and I'll decide after that. Fergal
- Lewis Kerr 25 Sep 2025 10:52Hi Fergal, Caoimhe, Fair question, and I'd rather you saw the case clearly. I'll send that over today: a short written summary of what Starter covers and how it compares with the manual work your team does now. Kind regards, Lewis
