Email-platform migration
Compare email-platform migration offers before revealing the buyer
Freeze one migration outcome, compare provider offers on the same scope, and reveal business identities only after the buyer selects a fit.
Target outcome
A private, comparable offer set covering scope, timing, price, guarantee, exclusions, and the buyer-owned selection reason.
Work through the evidence
before the final claim.
- 01
Freeze the exit outcome
Name the source platform, destination or destination criteria, list and automation scope, required history, deadline, and the result that must be usable after cutover. Keep credentials and subscriber data out of the brief.
- 02
Ask every provider for the same offer fields
Require scope, prerequisites, migration sequence, estimated timing, fixed and variable price, exclusions, buyer work, rollback assumptions, and the exact guarantee or warranty the provider is willing to state.
- 03
Compare before identities become sales leads
Normalize each offer without publishing the buyer or provider. Keep unknowns visible and reject responses that silently change the requested scope instead of answering it.
- 04
Select, reveal, then verify the real plan
Reveal business identities only after the buyer selects one offer. The parties must still verify access, data handling, contract terms, provider rules, and the final migration plan before any live change.
Example input
A concrete first pass
A 40-person SaaS team needs lists, consent fields, active automations, templates, and 18 months of campaign history moved before renewal in 45 days.
Reviewable output
Three offers compared on the same asset scope, buyer prerequisites, timing, price, exclusions, rollback assumptions, and guarantee, with one selected provider introduced to the buyer.
The buyer chooses from comparable commitments without turning the private migration brief into an unrestricted lead list.
Important boundaries
What this workflow does not prove
- An offer comparison does not test the source export or guarantee a successful cutover.
- Keep credentials, subscriber records, personal data, and confidential account details outside the comparison room.
- Use the current provider rules, contracts, and authoritative data-handling requirements before any migration work begins.
