The operating layer for your decision record.
AlignCube keeps the record alive after the audit: the evidence, the owner, the approval, and the captured dollars stay attached to every tool, so a decision made in March still has its receipts in December.
Know what proof exists before acting.
A cut is only useful when it is defensible. The evidence layer separates confident actions from attractive guesses. Evidence tracking is a Monitor capability.
Import Center
Bring billing exports, SSO usage, renewal calendars, owner maps, security reviews, and spreadsheets into one record.
Evidence Coverage
Track source freshness and coverage across billing, usage, security, renewal, owner mapping, and manual evidence in the system record.
Evidence Confidence
Label recommendations by billing, usage, owner, security, renewal, and rationale support.
Do Not Act Yet
Flag cuts that look good financially but are not defensible until missing proof is captured.
Route the work to the right lane.
Every tool should have a state, owner, blocker, and next action so teams can move without inventing process. The Queue and its routing are Monitor capabilities.
AI Decision Queue
Prioritize tools by spend, renewal pressure, utilization, evidence gaps, approval status, and owner readiness.
Decision Readiness
Score whether a tool has enough owner, spend, usage, renewal, vendor, AI review, and rationale evidence.
Remediation Tracker
Turn control gaps and accepted recommendations into accountable actions with owners, due dates, blockers, and status.
Portfolio Board
Group overlapping tools, suggested keeps, candidate cuts, reviewable spend, and consolidation rationale.
Keep the proof after the decision.
The durable record is the difference between a one-time audit and a system your team can trust next month. Reports and the timeline are Monitor capabilities.
System Timeline
Every import, evidence update, approval, decision memo, report, and record change becomes part of the audit trail.
Decision Proof Trail
Keep evidence, routing, blockers, approvals, implementation, and captured outcomes attached to each tool record. Recent timeline events show timestamps and actor attribution when available.
Governance Control Map
Map operational evidence to ownership, purpose, spend, usage, risk, renewal, approval, action, and traceability controls.
Executive Reports
Generate board-ready summaries with spend, captured outcomes, readiness, approvals, renewals, confidence, risks, and changes.
A cut list is an opinion. Evidence, an owner, and an approval are what turn it into a decision you can defend.
The operating principle behind every AlignCube surfaceHelpful by being explicit about limits.
AlignCube makes action easier without making risky moves on incomplete evidence.
No auto-cancel behavior
AlignCube prepares the recommendation, evidence packet, and approval route. A human confirms before cancellation or consolidation.
No fake certainty
Recommendations show confidence, missing proof, and blockers so financially attractive cuts do not look safer than they are.
No vendor commissions
AlignCube is paid by you, never by the software vendors it scores: no referral deals, no kickbacks, no reason to steer you toward any tool. The recommendation is loyal to your budget, not a partner list.
Start with the evidence you already have.
Then turn the stack into decisions, routes, and records.
The free audit gives you every call with the reasoning on every line. Monitor adds the operating layer: owner routing, approvals, captured tracking, and the monthly re-check.
