Method overview

A fixed sequence that turns fragmented spend into governable decisions.

Step 1

Normalize

Normalize tools and plans into a clean inventory.

Step 2

Categorize

Map spend to functions so decisions are not emotional.

Step 3

Detect overlap

Flag redundancy and consolidation paths.

Step 4

Score utilization risk

Identify paid capability that is not used.

Step 5

Leverage + actions

Rank actions by ROI and negotiation leverage.

Output artifacts

Every artifact is structured for decision velocity and internal alignment.

  • - Leak Map - Where spend escapes margin.
  • - Actions ranked by ROI - The order of operations-no noise.
  • - Vendor leverage flags - Where you have negotiating power.

Designed for operators who need control with minimal ceremony.

  • - Built for agency operators under margin pressure.
  • - Repeatable, audit-friendly, designed for governance cadence.
  • - Structured outputs so execution does not stall.

FAQ

Is this automated?

Core scoring and report production are automated with deterministic rules.

Do I need a call?

No. This flow is built to run asynchronously.

How long does it take?

Initial baseline output is designed for fast turnaround once inputs are complete.

Run the method. Lock the baseline.

Governance starts when decisions become repeatable.
