Records needed for this question
Research project dependencies, version requirements and licensing terms.
How to investigate
Ask project owners which records and tools are needed to reproduce ongoing or completed work.
An illustrative review decision
A specialist package may be required to reproduce an earlier research result. Ask the project owner to distinguish continuing access needs from optional new capacity before treating infrequent use as removable spend.
What can lead to the wrong conclusion?
Low recent usage may conceal a continuing need for a specific licensed version.
The result to retain
A continuity assessment attached to any spend recommendation.
Apply the review in context
Technology Spend currently provides an evidence-first demo workspace with synthetic demonstration records. Production sources, tenant integrations and external actions remain disabled until explicitly connected and validated. Keep identified, reviewed, approved, implemented and confirmed savings distinct. Capability overlap is a review signal, not an automatic removal recommendation. Production evidence must remain separate from synthetic/demo records.
