All fourteen categories

Each one a tuned playbook — question banks, legal research, benchmarks.

Out-of-network bills, surprise charges, denied claims. Covered by federal law more often than people realize.

New offer, raise, promotion, severance. Most people leave 8-15% of base on the table on day one.

Promo expired? Retention departments exist for one reason. We know how to route the call.

Lease renewals, deposit disputes, repair leverage. Most tenants don't know they have anti-retaliation protection.

Settlement letters, pay-for-delete, FDCPA violations. Debt buyers paid pennies on the dollar — and they'll settle.

Dealers run 15 named tactics. We name them too — and tell you what to say back at the table.

Auto, home, health, life — annual renewals leak the most money. Carriers raise rates assuming you won't shop.

Pricing a project, raising your hourly, declining scope creep. Most freelancers underprice by 20-40%.

Marketplace listings, estate items, garage sale finds. Sellers price for the haggle — we tell you where the floor is.

Engagement rings, watches, designer bags. Retail markup is 40-300%. The dance is real and we know the steps.

Cards, coins, comics, sneakers, art. Liquidity-illiquid markets where the right ask price is everything.

Hotels, flights, car rentals, cruises. Most "non-refundable" policies are negotiable when you know the right desk.

Appliances, electronics, furniture. Floor managers have ~15% they can discount without approval. Most never use it.

Contractors, mechanics, salons, movers. Quotes are openers — knowing the local going-rate flips the dynamic.
