2 / 5
Fill in: 'Missing the renewal negotiation window can ___ the team paying list price nobody's actually challenged.'

4 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ actual seat usage against the renewal quote, rather than paying for licenses nobody's actually confirmed are active.'
We 'verify usage' — the standard, simple collocation for confirming active seats before renewing. The other options are less idiomatic here.
5 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ every contract's renewal date on a shared calendar, rather than a deadline nobody's actually flagged in time.'
