Tech Recon

AI-Powered Technology Spend Analysis · $497 flat fee · 48-hour turnaround

Find wasted technology spend,
before it compounds further.

Most businesses are paying for software they don't use, tools that overlap, and subscriptions no one can fully explain. Arcwise Tech Recon uses AI-assisted analysis to review your last 90 days of business technology spend — then delivers a written report with severity-ranked findings, clear recommendations, and estimated annual savings.

What it does

AI-assisted analysis. Expert practitioner judgment. Fast turnaround.

90-Day Spend Review

We analyze up to 3 data sources covering your last 90 days of technology-related expenses — credit cards, bank exports, QuickBooks, or expense platforms.

Redundancy & Overlap Detection

AI identifies tools solving the same problem, duplicate subscriptions, and services no one can explain — across every data source simultaneously.

Pricing Intelligence

We flag tools where you're overpaying relative to market rates and surface consolidation opportunities with estimated annual savings.

Cross-Source Analysis

Critical findings often only appear when comparing sources. A double-billed Zoom subscription or a duplicate e-signature tool is invisible in one source alone.

Sample Findings

This is what the report surfaces.

Based on a real Tech Recon engagement. Company and tool names are representative.

#01CriticalCloud Storage — Triple Redundancy
$5,160/yr

Google Workspace + Dropbox Business + OneDrive

Google Workspace already includes Google Drive with shared drives and full team storage. Dropbox Business is running separately for 18 seats ($180/mo) — same functionality. Microsoft OneDrive is bundled into an existing M365 subscription and also active. Three cloud storage platforms, one team, zero coordination. This is the single most common pattern in SMB stacks.

Standardize on Google Drive (already paid). Cancel Dropbox Business. Archive OneDrive or retire M365 overlap. Net savings: $2,160/yr on Dropbox alone.

#02CriticalE-Signature — Duplicate Subscriptions
$1,980/yr

DocuSign Business Pro + Dropbox Sign (HelloSign)

Two active e-signature subscriptions running simultaneously for 8+ months. DocuSign at $120/mo and Dropbox Sign at $45/mo — identical core functionality. Dropbox Sign was added as a Dropbox integration years ago and never cancelled after DocuSign became the primary tool. Neither team knew the other subscription existed.

Audit send history in both platforms. Cancel Dropbox Sign immediately. If volume is low, consider switching to Dropbox Sign at $15/mo and cancelling DocuSign instead — saves $105/mo.

#03HighCommunications — Paid Redundancy
$3,600/yr

Slack Pro — Already Covered by Microsoft 365

25 Slack Pro seats at $300/mo. Microsoft 365 Business Standard — already active and paid — includes Teams with equivalent messaging, channels, file sharing, and video. The team is paying for both and actively using both, with no policy on which is the communication standard. New hires get added to whichever tool the person onboarding them prefers.

Designate Teams as the standard (zero incremental cost). Run a 30-day Teams-only pilot. Cancel Slack at next renewal. Net savings: $3,600/yr.

This engagement surfaced 13 findings totaling $26,885 in identified annual waste on a $67,340 stack.

Who it's for

It's about your situation, not your industry.

Tech Recon is the fastest way to understand what you're actually paying for — and what's worth keeping before we build anything new. It fits any business that runs on software, regardless of industry. The question is whether any of these sound familiar:

You've been adding tools for years and no one has a clear picture of what you're actually paying for

Your business is growing faster than your technology — systems that worked at 10 people are straining at 40

You have no dedicated IT person and technology decisions get made by whoever's loudest in the room

You're preparing for a growth phase, a new hire push, or an operational shift and want to clean house first

You suspect you're paying for overlapping tools but no one has ever sat down and mapped it out

You've been through a merger, acquisition, or rapid expansion and the tool stack is a patchwork
