Know who controls your AI stack — in 14 days.
A founder-led audit that maps every vendor in your stack to who owns its model, which jurisdiction can compel it, and where you’re exposed — board-reportable, fixed price, and quoting each vendor’s own wording wherever they publish it. Not handed to a junior; not a generic checklist.

If you're paying for a stack of AI tools and you can't tell which ones earn their keep.
Mid-market teams typically run 200–300 SaaS apps, and AI-native enterprise spend more than tripled in 2025 to $37 billion globally (Menlo Ventures, 2025). Most teams running 8–15 AI tools adopted them one at a time, without a procurement review, and cannot say which vendor holds what, under whose law, or on whose model. The Concierge audit answers that in writing, per vendor, with the vendor’s own wording attached.
Heads of Ops at 20–200 person teams
Maya runs ops at a 75-person SaaS. Her team uses 4 AI tools daily. The company pays for 12. She can't justify a $45,000/yr SaaS-management platform — she just needs a defensible answer about what to cut, in two weeks, fixed price.
AI procurement & FinOps
Centralizing AI tool decisions across departments. You need a vendor-neutral audit before negotiating contracts or consolidating to fewer tools.
Inherited a stack
You took over ops or finance and the line items are unrecognizable. You need a vendor-neutral baseline before you can renegotiate or consolidate.
A different question from SaaS spend management.
SaaS-management and procurement platforms answer what are we paying for, and can we pay less. They do that well, they integrate with finance systems, and if that is your question you should buy one of them rather than this.
The Concierge audit answers a different question: who controls the AI vendors you have already adopted, which jurisdiction can compel their data, and which of them is a thin layer over someone else’s model. That question does not appear on a spend report, and it is the one that comes up when a customer sends a data-processing agreement, when security reviews a renewal, or when someone asks where the prompts actually go.
It is a fixed-price engagement with no minimum spend, which makes it reachable for a company under 500 people that has accumulated AI tools without a procurement process. Every finding is tied to the vendor’s own published wording, and where a vendor discloses nothing we record that rather than inferring a value — so you can hand the result to somebody who will check it.
Four steps. Fourteen days.
No long retainer, no kickoff theater, no slide decks pretending to be insight. We take in your stack, run it through our methodology, write up the findings, and walk you through them on a call.
Intake
You share your current tool list, monthly spend per tool, and what each one is supposed to do. ~30 minutes of your time.
Analysis
We score each tool against the Vannus 9-dimension methodology and cross-reference against your team's actual workflow. We do the work; you keep your week back.
Written audit
You receive a written report: keep, replace, or drop for each tool, with cited reasoning and a quantified savings estimate.
Walkthrough call
60-minute call to walk through findings and prioritize your first three cuts. 30 days of follow-up email.
Specifically, you get:
eight concrete deliverables, all yours to keep. Below is the full breakdown of what the $7,500 buys — written so you can hold us to it.
- ✓ 1. Written audit report (PDF, typically 15-25 pages) The core deliverable. Executive summary, stack inventory, 9-dimension scoring per tool, keep/replace/drop verdict with cited reasoning, annualized savings table, and a recommended sequence of changes. Yours to share internally with finance, IT, or your board.
- ✓ 2. Per-tool one-page scorecards For every tool in your stack: a single-page scorecard showing its resilience grade, tier classification, the trust dimensions that drove it, and any caution flags, your team's stated use case, and the verdict. Designed to drop into a Slack channel or a procurement ticket without rewriting.
- ✓ 3. Annualized savings estimate with cited assumptions Projected annual dollar savings broken out by tool. Every assumption (current pricing, headcount, license utilization) is shown so you can stress-test the number yourself. The estimate is a directional projection based on your stated stack and pricing inputs — not a forecast or guarantee of realized outcomes.
- ✓ 4. Replacement shortlists for each “replace” tool For every tool flagged replace: 2-3 vendor-neutral alternatives drawn from the 373-tool catalog, scored under the same published methodology so you can compare apples-to-apples. Includes migration-effort notes and sovereignty/compliance posture for each candidate.
- ✓ 5. Sovereignty & compliance map of your current stack Where each tool is hosted, who owns the parent company, and which compliance regimes (SOC 2 Type II, ISO/IEC 42001, GDPR, HIPAA, EU AI Act, FedRAMP) it currently satisfies. Surfaces exposure to US CLOUD Act, CFIUS, or jurisdictional concerns before they become procurement blockers. (See the sovereignty grid in the composite example →)
- ✓ 6. Written 30/60/90-day action plan The recommendations sequenced into an executable plan: what to cancel in 30 days, what to migrate in 60, what to evaluate in 90. Each step has an owner placeholder, estimated time investment, and dollar impact attached.
- ✓ 7. 60-minute walkthrough call with the founder Live Q&A, prioritization, and a working session on the first three changes to make. Recorded on request so anyone on your team can rewatch. Our founder delivers this call directly — not handed off to an analyst or contractor.
- ✓ 8. Up to 5 follow-up email exchanges within 30 days Implementation questions answered as you execute — vendor counter-offers, contract terms, comparable-tool questions. Bounded scope so each audit gets real attention; for ongoing implementation support, the optional retainer below is the right tier.
Plus, you keep everything. All written deliverables are yours. We retain a redacted summary only with your explicit permission. No SaaS subscription on the audit itself, no portal lock-in, no ongoing access fees — the audit closes when you say it does.
Fixed price. No surprises.
Two minutes, no email required. Or write to support@vannus.co — we reply personally within one business day.
How we stand behind the work.
1. Pre-screened intake. Every prospective engagement starts with a 20-minute intake call before any contract is signed. If we don't believe we can find meaningful savings in your stack, we decline the engagement rather than take the fee. We'll tell you on the intake call — not after you've paid.
2. Outcome-aligned follow-up. If, ninety (90) days after audit delivery, your post-audit review surfaces concerns about the analysis, we provide a follow-up assessment at no additional charge to revisit the recommendations against your real-world implementation experience. If at the 90-day mark you don't believe the audit paid for itself, write to us directly — we'd rather work with you on a follow-up than walk away from the relationship.
The terms of pre-screening and follow-up assessment are documented in your engagement letter and in our Terms of Service, Section 12.6.
