Answer the four and this fills in.
Built on segment benchmarks — $3.8M average annual waste for companies under 500, $9.5M for mid-market, $21M for enterprise (Zylo, 2025). Some waste is structural: spare licenses, deliberate redundancy, contracts you cannot exit yet. The rest is your call, and how much you act on is genuinely up to you. Left alone it compounds — software spend per employee rises about 22% a year before AI is counted.
