The other alternative for Assassination is not to damage the enemy contract target until all your mechs are in play and in a good position.
It will only try to bug out once it has taken a certain amount of damage.
Still, it does not guarantee you can kill it if already standing in its evac zone, but gives you at least 4 alphastrikes (more if you wait your turn to last before attacking and it then being delayed next round by Precision Shot) with at least a couple of precision shots (usually 3) before it triggers failure.
