Tools · For the buyer side
Quick estimators that give you a real answer in 90 seconds, no email required. Deep diagnostics that produce a structured PDF report delivered to your inbox in 24 hours. Built for CIOs, IT Directors, and operators sourcing technology for mid-market and multi-location businesses. No tool here is built for vendors trying to sell you something.
Tier one · Free · Inline results
Real answers in under two minutes. No email. No follow-up sales drip. If the number is interesting, the deeper tools below produce the structured analysis.
Five fields about your telecom footprint. Returns a category-by-category estimate of waste — invoice errors, zombie lines, contract overage, mobile fleet inefficiency. Most mid-market operators lose 15 to 30 percent of telecom spend without knowing.
Run the audit →Multi-location operators on a single connectivity carrier carry a downtime risk most of them have never priced. Enter your revenue, locations, and current setup. Returns the expected annualized cost of a single-carrier strategy versus dual-carrier — measured in lost revenue per hour of outage.
Pick your current UCaaS, CCaaS, and SD-WAN vendors from dropdowns. Returns the AI features already bundled in your existing licenses. Most operators are paying for AI they have never turned on. This is the 30-second version of the deeper AI Stack Diagnostic.
Tier two · Email gated · Delivered by inbox
Substantive workflows that take real analysis time and produce a structured PDF report. Trade an email for a specific list of deliverables — shown before you decide.
A public-facing version of the Cardinal Index scoring engine. Answer eight questions about your industry, scale, current stack, and biggest pain point. We return a calibrated score (0 to 100) against peer median, plus the three procurement levers most likely to move it.
The deeper version of the Native AI Snapshot. Maps your entire technology stack across all seven layers — network, voice, contact center, security, productivity, knowledge, revenue — against what AI you already own, what is mature but missing, and the procurement sequence that produces ROI inside 90 days.
Cyber insurance underwriters now dictate specific stack postures — MFA, EDR, immutable backup, retention windows — as price-or-bind requirements. Tell us your insurer or upload your underwriting questionnaire. We return whether your current stack meets bind requirements and what to remediate before renewal.
PCI-DSS 4.0 enforcement hits mid-market merchants in 2026. The provisions that changed are not the ones most operators expect. Walk through a structured assessment. We return whether you are bind-ready, the specific control gaps, and a remediation timeline keyed to the enforcement deadline.
Tier zero · The full benchmark · Free
When an estimator is not enough — submit your actual contract. We return a benchmark PDF in five business days showing where you are paying above peer median for your industry and scale. Three identified savings opportunities ranked by dollar value. Free. No follow-up sales drip.
This is the most substantive thing on the page. It produces an actual numbered analysis of your actual contract against actual peer benchmarks. The deliverables above are calibrated diagnostics — this is calibrated procurement intelligence.

We build the tool we wish existed when we sat down with the last engagement. Subscribe and we will email when each one ships.
Per-site telecom and connectivity cost benchmarked against peer median for your industry, scale, and footprint type. The "are we paying too much per site" question, answered.
Upload your contract dates. We notify you 90, 60, and 30 days before renewal with the benchmark window and the negotiation leverage you have at each milestone.
Mid-market cloud spend optimization without the enterprise FinOps stack. The four moves that produce 90 percent of the savings, mapped to your specific cloud provider mix.
The full economic cost of being locked into a single UCaaS, CCaaS, or cloud provider — including migration cost, lost negotiation leverage, and the price of optionality.
