Here’s what your plan looks like.
Biggest savings first, least disruptive cuts prioritized. The order matters — here's where to start for Northwind Labs.
Where to cut, and in what order
This is a sample plan
It's modeled for a typical 250-person company. Your real plan starts with the free 2-minute diagnosis on fatsaas — then it lands back here with your numbers, and you decide whether to apply.
If I don't identify at least 3× my fee in cuttable software spend within 6 months, you pay nothing.
Vendor-neutral — I sell no software, so the only number I'm chasing is yours. I take a limited number of clients, and only ones whose stack I've already diagnosed, so I never guarantee blind.

I've spent close to a decade as a sales engineer — building tailored integration proofs-of-concept and earning buyers' confidence in new software, today for a SaaS CRM platform and earlier at a BI tooling company. Knowing exactly how a stack gets sold is what lets me see the overlap and waste inside one. I bring that insider's eye to your stack — and back the savings with a guarantee.
