We name the rebuild
that pays back fastest.
A 30-min call with a senior engineer (12+ years) and a partner. You share your top 6 SaaS lines — vendor, annual contract value, renewal date. We come back in 3 business days with a 1-page CFO memo: which 1–2 tools to rebuild first, indicative cost, indicative Y1 reclaim, suggested timeline. No fee. No obligation. About 60% of reviews convert to paid rebuild work — the other 40% walk away with a free analysis they can act on.
A real artifact, not a sales deck.
The CFO memo is what you'd hand to your CFO or CEO to make the case. Specific. Scoped. Numbers you can defend.
Stack inventory + wrapper-margin breakdown
Your top 6 lines, each scored as: candidate for rebuild / partial candidate / keep. For each candidate: estimated wrapper margin (vendor's likely cost-of-goods vs your bill), suggested direct vendor stack (SES, Postmark, Anthropic, etc.).
Top 1–2 rebuild candidates
Indicative scope (modules, integrations, data shape). Indicative price ($X-$Y range). Indicative Y1 reclaim (after rebuild + hosting). Indicative payback period. Risk flags.
Renewal-window timing
Cross-references your renewal calendar with our build timeline. If a renewal is 90 days out, can we ship before it? If yes, that's the candidate to start with. If no, we suggest waiting on that one.
Honest "don't rebuild" notes
If a tool genuinely isn't worth rebuilding (Salesforce ecosystem at 25 seats, niche compliance tooling, etc.), we say so. We're not trying to sell you 6 rebuilds. We want to find the 1–2 that have the cleanest math.
3 business days. No follow-up calls required.
30-min call
You: top 6 SaaS lines, ACV, renewals. We: clarifying questions, scope.

Memo delivered
PDF in your inbox. Sections above. Numbers you can paste into a CFO email.
No follow-up unless asked
If you want to proceed with a paid Audit ($2.5K refundable) or rebuild quote, reply to the memo. If not, no nags.
No fee. No follow-up nags.
~60% of reviews lead to paid work. The other 40% walk away with a free analysis they didn't have. Either is fine with us.
Pre-call ask: have your top 6 SaaS line items + annual contract values ready. We don't need exact-to-the-dollar; ranges are fine. NDA sent in advance if your stack is sensitive.
