Evidence record
Headline, derivation, assumptions, observations, methodology and drill-through behind each recommendation, opened from the position’s detail page.
Product
How it works
OptiSight reads the usage, entitlement, contract, people and subscription data an organization already holds, raises what deserves attention, builds a position with its evidence attached, and records the decision that follows. This page shows each part on the synthetic demo organization.
What OptiSight answers.
The questions a portfolio owner brings to a renewal, a budget review or a board. The product answers each of them today, on its own pages or through Ask OptiSight, unless it is marked Planned. The one marked Planned is the question Ask does not yet answer as asked; its note says what does answer today.
Portfolio
- What do we own, and what is actually used?
- Which positions are over-provisioned, and by how much?
- Which named-user seats have been idle for 90 days?
- Which subscriptions and AI tools do we pay for, and how many people use them?
Spend
- What does each position cost, and where is spend concentrated?
- How much of what we pay for sits above demand?
- Which department or program drives demand for a product?
- How much are we spending across AI tools, and where does it overlap?
Renewals and decisions
- Which renewals need attention in the next 90 days?
- What position should we take on this agreement, and why?
- What happens to the recommendation if demand grows or the buffer changes?
- What did we decide last time, who approved it, and what happened?PlannedToday, “Show me the decision history” lists each change with who made it, the approver set and the outcome recorded; the decision’s own page shows the full record.
Risk and confidence
- Where is demand at the ceiling, and on how many days was work blocked?
- Where will demand exceed capacity next?
- How confident is this figure, and what would raise that confidence?
- Which imported data is missing, unmatched or unpriced?
Decisions, not dashboards
The decision intelligence layer.
A deterministic engine, an evidence record behind every recommendation, and confidence stated rather than assumed. Every capability listed here ships on the product today.
Confidence explained
Every position carries a confidence level and the reasons for it: window covered, denials visible or not, cost known or not.
Signals
Cost, renewal, capacity, reclaim, usage and forecast signals, scored and ranked. Nothing is invented; every signal derives from imported rows.
Renewal workspace
Exposure by renewal window, contract detail with a cost bridge and line items, and a printable negotiation brief.
Scenario sliders
Growth, safety buffer and unit price on one position, recomputed by the same engine the product runs.
Ask OptiSight
Retrieval-first questions over your own analysis. Answers phrase figures the engine computed and refuse when the evidence is not there.
Decision record and history
Proposed action, approver, rationale, due date, financial impact, evidence snapshot and an append-only history of status changes.
Named scenarios
Saved assumptions compared side by side: current, scenario, difference and estimated annual impact.
Subscription and AI portfolio
Seats purchased against seats assigned and active, cost per active user, idle seats and overlapping capability across SaaS and AI tools.
How every figure is labelled
- Fact
- Imported as supplied. Traceable to a row in a file.
- Inference
- Derived from imported data by a stated method.
- Model
- An estimate under stated assumptions. Labelled as such wherever it appears.
- Recommendation
- A position the engine proposes, with its evidence and confidence attached.
Make the decision: how a position is built.
Four stages, each typed by what it is and traceable to the data underneath it.

Every number carries its own evidence in the product: the daily peak series it was computed from, the window it covers, and the assumptions applied. Confidence is reported alongside each recommendation rather than assumed.
Try the recommendation yourself.
This runs the same analytics engine the product runs, against a reproducible synthetic dataset. Move the sliders and watch the recommendation recalculate; the dollar figure is a modelled estimate at the contract unit price.

Three shapes of the same problem.
Overcapacity, capacity risk and idle seats are usually managed in separate reports. OptiSight brings them into one decision model. Figures from the synthetic demo dataset.

A named strength
Engineering software, read the way it is metered.
Concurrent, named-user and token licensing from the licence managers engineering teams actually run — FlexNet, RLM, DSLS and Sentinel exports — with daily peaks, denials, saturation days and reclaim candidates, not a seat count borrowed from a SaaS console. It is one strength inside a portfolio that also holds SaaS seats, AI tools and subscriptions.

Ask OptiSight retrieves and explains deterministic analysis. It does not invent financial, utilization, forecast, or recommendation values, and it says so when the evidence is not there.
