A number you can defend in the budget meeting.
Software portfolio intelligence, starting where it hurts: what your stack overlaps, what that costs, and what credibly replaces it.
Illustrative report — real methodology, example numbers
Nobody has the total figure — until the board asks.
Stacks grow one seat at a time. Overlapping tools double-pay for the same features, and the real number hides in an invoice archaeology project.
A defensible estimate from two inputs.
Team size and paid categories — never invoices — produce an annual estimate with its formula shown, plus open-source alternatives ranked on repository activity, security history and maintenance health.
Two inputs → a decision.
Report, breakdown, rankings, disclosure.
Spend → overlap → savings → swap → path
Never dressed as audited
Where the overlap actually sits
Not paid placement
Activity · security · maintenance
Stated before you click
The same three views, on every product.
An evidence card, a timeline and a trust score — identical components everywhere, so what you learn on one product transfers to the next.
Why you can trust the estimate
Most cost tools hand you a number and hide the arithmetic. Ours shows its work — which is the only reason a number survives a budget meeting.
What changes after you run it.
A defensible figure for the budget reviewDirectional, transparent, ready to interrogate — with the formula printed next to it.
Consolidation targets, rankedSee which categories overlap most and what credibly replaces them.
Two clear paths to actSwitch via a disclosed link, or hand off the migration.
Zero access riskNo invoices, no billing integrations — just two inputs.
Honesty as the differentiator.
Estimates labelled
A directional figure with its basis shown — never dressed as audited.
Client-side calculator
Pure local JavaScript; a slider never calls a paid model.
Ranked on three signal groups
Repository activity (commits, contributors, release cadence), security history (known CVEs, disclosure responsiveness) and maintenance health (bus factor, issue resolution) — all sourced from the repository.
Two plain paths
Disclosed referral or paid migration help — no dark nudging.
Graceful fallback
Model down? A deterministic local estimate — still labelled.
Disclosures up front
Methodology and affiliate model on a public page.
BizOpsTool today covers cost and overlap analysis with open-source alternatives — that is what the product does now, and "portfolio intelligence" describes the category, not features we haven’t built. The output is a directional estimate, not an audited financial statement; savings depend on your contracts and migration effort, and referral links are disclosed on the methodology page.
