Evidence to request in the evaluation
Application owner list, budget authority and change approval policy.
A practical acceptance test
Map each proposed action to the people who can assess service impact and approve spending changes.
An illustrative review decision
An IT owner may understand dependencies while procurement controls notice and finance approves budget. Document those roles separately so an apparently sensible recommendation does not bypass required operational review.
What can lead to the wrong conclusion?
Budget ownership alone may not include authority to retire a critical application.
The result to retain
A decision-rights map for the review process.
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.
This guide describes a human review method, not a claim that every scenario is automatically detected or executed. Explore AuditRes Technology Spend.
