PlainOps synthetic validation artifact

Sample Report — Subscription Waste Scanner

Demo company: AI-first B2B startup, 72 employees

Data status: Synthetic demo data, not real company data

Report date: 2026-06-07

Executive summary

We detected £10,132/month in SaaS and AI-tool subscriptions across the sample company. The scanner identified £4,312/month in medium/high-confidence savings opportunities, equivalent to £51,744/year.

The strongest finding is not one huge mistake; it is subscription sprawl: AI trials, duplicate workflow tools, inactive seats, and renewals that nobody owns.
