AI Readiness & Cost Optimisation Audit
Martech utilisation has fallen to just 49%. Most teams are paying for software they barely use, while AI replaces the workflows those tools were built to handle.
Background
Most marketing teams are sitting on stacks built layer by layer over years, each tool added for a reason, few ever removed. AI has made the problem impossible to ignore – exposing overlap, accelerating redundancy, and replacing workflows that entire tools were built to handle.
The marketers winning right now aren’t buying more. They’re cutting smarter, consolidating faster, and focusing investment on the capabilities that actually move the needle.
Introducing the AI Readiness & Cost Optimisation Audit
A focused audit for senior marketing decision-makers who want a clear, credible answer to the question every board is starting to ask: are we spending in the right places?
We audit your full martech stack against three criteria, utilisation, overlap, and AI displacement risk, and deliver a practical roadmap for a leaner, more efficient marketing operation.
What’s Delivered As Part of The Audit?
