What you'll work through

Calder Research Group has thirty days to respond to a top-five pharmaceutical company's offer of $600 million in guaranteed annual revenue. The prestige and backlog certainty are attractive, but the work is discounted, capacity is tight, and the contract would materially concentrate the client portfolio. Recommend whether Calder should accept, decline, or counter and specify the deal shape it should seek.
