Section 1
The premise
Companies bleed money on shadow SaaS; AI organizes the inventory and reveals duplicates.
What AI does well here
- Cluster tools by job-to-be-done to find duplicates
- Flag tools with low active-user counts vs. seat licenses paid
- Draft the consolidation memo for finance
What AI cannot do
- Cancel anything
- Know which 'unused' tool is actually critical for one customer-facing workflow
- Replace the human conversation with the team that depends on the tool
