The operating layer after the cut list.
AlignCube keeps the cut list 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.
Savings are only useful when they are defensible. The evidence layer separates confident actions from attractive guesses.
Import Center
Bring billing exports, SSO usage, renewal calendars, owner maps, security reviews, and spreadsheets into one record.
Data Source Health
See which sources are current, stale, partial, or missing across the evidence used for each decision.
Evidence Confidence
Label recommendations by billing, usage, owner, security, renewal, and rationale support.
Do Not Act Yet
Flag savings opportunities 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.
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, savings opportunities, 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.
System Timeline
Every import, evidence update, approval, decision memo, report, and record change becomes part of the audit trail.
Change Comparison
Before-and-after views show when owner, cost, confidence, renewal date, approval state, or recommendation changed.
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, savings, readiness, approvals, renewals, confidence, risks, and changes.
A cut list is an opinion. Evidence, an owner, and an approval are what turn it into money.
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.
