Unused seats, duplicate tools, forgotten trials — the leak calculator finds every wasted dollar, the checklist plugs it, and four ready letters get it back. One afternoon, no consultant.
Enter your subscriptions, seats, and API usage; it sizes each leak category and caps estimates at what you actually spend — no inflated savings theater.
Five phases from inventory to renegotiation, plus four ready-to-send letters for the conversations that recover the money — downgrades, seat cuts, and vendor pricing reviews.
Small-business owners and ops leads who suspect their AI subscriptions and API usage are quietly leaking money — duplicate seats, idle tiers, frontier models doing routine work.
The TCO Toolkit answers "where should our AI run?" for infrastructure decisions. The Leak Audit finds waste in what you already pay for today — most small businesses need this one first.
Excel or LibreOffice for the calculator, any .docx editor for the checklist and letters.
If the audit finds a single forgotten seat on a $20/month tool, the kit pays for itself in 3 months — and it usually finds more than one.
