The Stack Audit You Keep Avoiding

Most founders treat their tech stack like a junk drawer: adding tools when a problem shows up, never removing anything when it goes quiet.

You end up with 14 SaaS subscriptions, three overlapping analytics platforms, two project management tools nobody updates, and a Slack full of bot notifications you stopped reading six months ago.

It's not just wasted money. It's decision drag. Every tool you're not using still occupies mental space. Every login you forgot is a small tax on your focus.

This week, run a stack audit.

Start simple:

  1. List every tool you're paying for. Please pull your credit card statement if needed. Most founders are shocked by what's still running.

  2. Flag what you haven't opened in 30 days. If you can't remember the last time you logged in, you don't need it. Cancel it today.

  3. Identify overlap. If two tools do 80% of the same job, kill one. Redundancy isn't resilience. It's confusion.

  4. Ask your team what they actually use. You might be paying for something that only exists in onboarding decks. If they don't know what it's for, neither do you.

I worked with a founder last quarter who cut his stack from 22 tools to 9. He saved $1,400/month, but more importantly, his team stopped asking "wait, where do we track that again?" The clarity was worth more than the savings.

Your stack should make decisions faster, not slower. If a tool isn't giving you leverage, it's giving you debt: cognitive, financial, operational.

You don't need the best tools. You need the ones you'll actually use, that talk to each other, and that your team can operate without needing your help.

Need help mapping your stack to what actually matters? I help founders audit their operations and build systems that reduce dependencies rather than add complexity. Grab 30 minutes here, and we'll identify what to keep, what to kill, and what's costing you more than money.

Fun fact: Working with Pre-IPO Hype, we cover the tech stack to run your entire business. One system. No redundancy. No guessing.

This week: Open your SaaS bill, delete three tools you haven't touched in a month, and consolidate one redundant pair.
