Benchmarks
💡Healthy B2B companies spend $200–$400 per employee per year on software.
⚠️Above $600/employee/year warrants a full audit — look for overlap and underused tools.
🔁Two tools doing the same job = one should be cut. Common overlaps: project management, CRM, communication.
📋Ask each tool owner: "Is this essential?" If they hesitate, it's probably not.
