✦ The pattern
SaaS waste grows over time.
Industry research consistently puts SaaS waste at 25–35% of total spend. For a mid-sized stack, that's tens of thousands of dollars a year on software no one uses, software that overlaps with software no one uses, or tiers that nobody downgraded after the trial.
The problem is structural. SaaS subscriptions are easy to acquire and easy to forget. A department head signs up with a corporate card; that person leaves; the subscription continues billing indefinitely. Multiply across dozens of teams and the cumulative waste compounds quietly.
Three categories: unused licenses (paid-for accounts no one signs into), duplicate tools (multiple subscriptions for the same job), and overprovisioning (paying for premium features the team never touches). Quarterly audits catch some. Continuous monitoring catches the rest.
