Find out what your retailers took — and what you can get back. Free.
Brands your size lose 3–5% of gross revenue to retailer deductions. About two-thirds of the disputable ones are never disputed — not because anyone decided to let the money go, but because nobody has time to trace fifteen deduction codes across remittance stubs while also running a company.
I built the tooling to do exactly that. The scan is free. If you want the money recovered, I work on contingency: no recovery, no fee.

1. You send the data.
Twelve months of deduction data — remittance stubs, deduction reports, whatever format your retailers and distributors send. Walmart, Costco, UNFI, KeHE, and most others parse cleanly. Messy exports are fine; messy exports are the job.
2. I run the scan.
Every deduction categorized by code and root cause. Disputable items flagged, priced, and ranked by recovery likelihood. You get a written summary: total deducted, what’s disputable, what it’s worth, and where the leaks concentrate.
3. You decide.
Take the report and dispute them yourself — it’s yours either way. Or have me run the recovery: I file the disputes, work the retailer portals, and keep 30% of what actually comes back. Money that doesn’t come back costs you nothing.
What the scan tells you
- Total deductions by retailer, code, and root cause
- Which deductions are disputable and the dollar value of each
- Your projected recovery at typical win rates
- The upstream failures generating the deductions — so the bleed stops, not just this year’s losses
Why contingency
Because a brand that’s already losing margin to deductions shouldn’t have to gamble a consulting fee to find out how much. The incentive alignment is the point: I only get paid when your money comes back. If the scan shows there’s nothing worth chasing, I’ll tell you that too — it happens, and you’ll know your deduction management is working.
Common questions
What do you need from us, exactly?
Deduction/chargeback detail from your retailers or distributors covering the last 12 months. If you’re not sure what to pull, I’ll send a one-page checklist per retailer. Most brands gather it in under an hour.
Is our data safe?
Mutual NDA before anything moves. You upload through a private, expiring link — not email, because I don’t want your deduction detail sitting in an inbox any more than you do. Your files are kept isolated from other clients’ data and are never used to train any model. I keep a checksum of every file you send, so you can verify exactly what I received. When the work is done I destroy all of it and send you a certificate listing each file, its checksum, and how it was destroyed. The only thing I keep is the report I wrote for you.
How long does the scan take?
Five business days from receiving usable data.
What’s the catch?
There isn’t one. The scan is the sales pitch. If it finds recoverable money, most brands want the person who found it to go get it. If it doesn’t, you got a free audit of your deduction exposure.
What win rate should we expect?
On disputed dollars, roughly 40% is typical in my worked engagements — but the bigger number is usually the two-thirds of disputable deductions that were never filed at all.
