In Brief
For transfer pricing teams, the quality of a legal answer rests on whether it can be traced back to a real source. Client expectations in Transfer Pricing have shifted, and the tools advocates rely on have to keep up. Most transfer pricing teams know the feeling: more matters than hours, and no margin for an unverified answer.
The Bottleneck
It rarely starts as a crisis; slow client intake and onboarding builds quietly until a filing deadline makes it impossible to ignore. Left unaddressed, slow client intake and onboarding compounds: research is repeated, drafts drift, and confidence erodes. When slow client intake and onboarding sets in, deadlines tighten and the risk of a missed authority grows. The issue shows up most clearly as Slow client intake and onboarding during diligence sprints.
The Consequences
Every hour lost to slow client intake and onboarding is an hour not spent on strategy, advocacy, or the client. What looks like a research problem is often a risk and reputation problem in disguise. Teams end up firefighting instead of building the strongest possible line of authority.
