Find unused seats, over-tiered licenses, duplicate tools, renewal leakage and usage-cost anomalies from contracts, invoices and read-only usage exports — before committing to a long integration.
Read-only firstNo credentialsEvidence-backed savings
What the scan looks for
Renewal leakage
Seat baselines that stayed too high, auto-renewal deadlines, duplicate subscriptions and price uplifts that need contract review.
AI & usage-based spend
Consumption spikes, unused commitments and add-on charges that can be reconciled to actual usage and commercial terms.
Initial Recovery Scan
Lab scope: up to 10 apps, up to 500 paid seats or an agreed usage-export equivalent, 3 months of evidence and the next 120 days of renewals.
US$1,500fixed diagnostic hypothesis
No checkout is active. No user is disabled, no subscription is cancelled and no vendor is contacted during the scan without explicit authorization.
What you receive
- Spend and license normalization
- App-level utilization table
- Evidence-graded waste and credit candidates
- Renewal and notice-deadline alerts
- Current-term recovery separated from future savings
- Recommended reclaim, downgrade, cancel or renegotiate actions for human review
Why this is measurable
FinOps Foundation reports that SaaS, licensing and AI spend are now core FinOps scopes in 2026. Vertice reports that 65% of SaaS licenses in its Q2 2026 data were unused or underutilized. Recovery OS does not use those benchmarks as customer savings claims; actual value must be proven from the customer's own contract, billing and usage evidence.
Data boundary
Do not send contracts, employee rosters, usage logs, credentials, invoices or proprietary pricing through a public form. Sensitive evidence should only be collected after qualification through an approved secure intake process.
