AUSZUG BMethodologyS. 04 / 09

How the audit is conducted.

Einmalig you place the order, you receive a single intake form. Upload the past six months of statements from each card or account that pays for software. We do the rest. No login credentials. No connectors. No surprises.

STEP 01INTAKE

You upload your statements.

Six months. Any format — CSV, PDF, screenshots from a banking app. We accept all. We do not need login credentials. We do not connect to any of your accounts.

STEP 02CLASSIFICATION

Every charge is categorized by hand.

A human (one of three on staff) reads every line. Each Abonnement is classified — vendor, function, billing frequency, contract type, and whether the vendor has materially changed in the last 12 months.

STEP 03INVESTIGATION

We use the tool the way you do.

Where login allows, we sign into your account (with your supervised consent) and examine actual usage. Most "essential" Abonnements are touched fewer than four times a quarter.

STEP 04VERDICT

You receive a 9-page document.

One verdict per line. Keep, Kill, Merge, or Downgrade. Each verdict carries a one-sentence justification, a recommended replacement, and the dollar amount you save by acting on it.
