See what your technology spend is hiding.
The Technology Spend Review is Unravyl's most popular entry point. It's a structured assessment of your technology costs — telecom, mobile, cloud and software, IT assets, vendor contracts — that produces a prioritized action plan in 4 to 6 weeks. Most clients are surprised by what a structured review uncovers, and by how much of it is actionable within 90 days.
A focused, fixed-scope assessment.

What to expect, week by week.
Onboarding & data collection
We meet with your key stakeholders...
Analysis
We build the spend baseline, map contracts to renewal dates, benchmark pricing against current market rates, and identify patterns.
Synthesis & Clarity Report drafting
Findings are prioritized, action plans are scoped, and the Clarity Report is drafted.
Review & delivery
We present the Clarity Report to your team, walk through findings, and discuss next steps. You decide whether to execute internally or extend the engagement.
The Unravyl Clarity Report.
The Clarity Report is the deliverable from every Technology Spend Review. It’s structured to be useful — not impressive. Sections include:
- Executive summary (one page, written for cross-functional stakeholders)
- Prioritized action plan with recommended ownership
- 30-day quick wins, separated from longer-term initiatives
- Contract renewal calendar with negotiation priority flags
- Vendor consolidation opportunities
- Recommended next steps for this quarter, next quarter, and the next 12 months
Transparent, fixed pricing.
A standard Technology Spend Review is priced on a fixed-scope basis, with pricing dependent on company size and scope of categories covered. SMB-scoped reviews typically start in the low five figures. Mid-market and enterprise reviews are scoped individually.
We provide transparent pricing during the initial conversation. There is no extended sales cycle, and pricing is quoted before any engagement begins.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from what our internal team could do?
Two main differences. First, we benchmark your contracts and spend against current market pricing and patterns we see across other client engagements — which is data your internal team doesn't have access to. Second, we work cross-functionally across finance, IT, operations, and procurement, which most internal teams can't do without significant reorganization of their day-to-day work.
Will this disrupt our team's regular work?
Minimally. The data collection phase typically requires 3–5 hours total from a primary point of contact, plus 30–60 minutes from each of 2–3 supporting stakeholders. Most of the analytical work happens on our side, with check-ins as needed.
What if we don't have organized records?
That's the norm, not the exception. Most engagements start with invoices spread across email, contracts in various file shares, and inventory data in three different systems. We work with whatever is available and fill gaps during discovery.
How quickly can we start saving?
The Clarity Report identifies 30-day quick wins separately from longer-term work. Quick wins are typically things like unused SaaS licenses, mobile lines for departed employees, or billing errors that can be corrected immediately. Larger savings — contract renegotiations, vendor consolidation, RFP-driven changes — typically take 3 to 9 months to fully realize.
What if the Review doesn't find significant savings?
That happens occasionally. When it does, we tell you. We'd rather give you an honest finding ("your environment is in good shape for your category") than manufacture savings opportunities that aren't real. In our experience, that's rare — most environments that haven't been structurally reviewed in the last 2–3 years have meaningful opportunities.
Can we expand the scope after the Review starts?
Yes, with revised pricing and timeline. We discuss scope changes openly during the engagement.
