You're a $5–50M founder-architect paying somewhere between fifty thousand and half a million dollars a year for tools your team logs into for maybe four features apiece. The rest is bloat you inherited, subscriptions nobody remembers signing, and per-seat pricing on people who left last quarter. Ditch Your SaaS is a twelve-question audit that ranks every tool in your stack kill, replace, or keep — with the dollar savings, the lean agent that does the same job, and the trigger to pull the plug.
What the scorecard returns
Low usage, redundant with another tool you already pay for, or a subscription nobody on the current team can name a use case for. Direct cash back on the P&L.
Real usage, but you only touch four features. A lean agent does those four in a fraction of the seats and a fraction of the cost. Side-by-side migration, then pull the plug.
Deep integration, real workflow leverage, or a compliance moat. Keep — and renegotiate the seat count now that half the org isn't in it.
The shift
A per-seat contract for every function of the business. Fourteen dashboards. Six overlapping CRMs after two acquisitions. A finance team that quietly stopped opening the vendor spreadsheet because it was too depressing.
A short list of load-bearing platforms plus a bench of lean agents doing the specific jobs you actually need done. The vendor list shrinks. The team's speed doesn't. The CFO stops asking.
How it works
Twelve questions on your top tools — spend, seats, active usage, and which four features actually get used.
Weighted scoring returns a personalized one-pager with dollar savings and a lean agent replacement for each replaceable tool.
The playbook walks you through running the agent alongside the incumbent tool for two to four weeks, so nobody's flying blind.
Trigger conditions tell you the exact moment it's safe to cancel. Savings hit the P&L the next renewal cycle.
Who it's for
Not a solopreneur trimming a $79/mo Notion bill. Not a Fortune 500 with a procurement team and a Gartner subscription. Both of those buyers have other options.
A $5–50M business, fifty thousand to half a million a year in SaaS spend, a CFO already asking why, and a founder who wants a real answer instead of another dashboard.
FAQ
The twelve-question scorecard, an immediate one-pager showing kill / replace / keep for the tools you scored, and a Google Sheet audit template you can share with your CFO or COO. Delivered by email.
The full side-by-side migration steps for the three most common kill candidates — the bloated PM tool, the bloated CRM, and the bloated dashboard stack. Each includes the lean agent that replaces it, the two-to-four week overlap plan, and the trigger conditions to safely cancel. It lives inside the Optimus portal.
A vendor-management tool tells you what you're paying. This tells you what to do about it — with the replacement already specified. It's an architect's decision aid, not a spend dashboard.
No. The scorecard is a paper exercise. Replacement is only recommended after you've run the incumbent tool and its lean agent replacement side-by-side long enough to prove the swap is safe.
