Nobody is asleep at the wheel - the waste just doesn't look like waste. Chronom reads feature-level usage, not sign-ins, across every licence, add-on, mailbox and site, and comes back in 48 hours with what's actually being paid for twice, over-tiered, or not used at all.
You pulled the licence report. Almost everyone signed in this month, six seats unassigned, nothing obviously wrong. So you closed the tab - because the report answered a question nobody was asking.
E5 got adopted in 2021 for a security programme that covered forty people. It became the default for new starters. Nobody decided that. It just never got revisited.
You bought a block of Copilot seats to evaluate it. Some people love it. Most opened it twice in April. The invoice never noticed the difference.
Discovery shouldn't be a project you have to justify. Connecting takes a quarter of an hour, and if your tenant turns out to be genuinely lean, you'll have that in writing.
Graph API consent, read-only. No agents, no scripts, no scheduled exports, nothing installed on an endpoint. That's the whole setup.
Every user, group, SKU, add-on, mailbox and site is evaluated against a year of real feature usage - not sign-in logs - and priced against your actual rates.
Approve the changes you agree with. Chronom's team can execute them for you, so the finding turns into a lower invoice rather than a backlog ticket.
Most tools hand you a signal and leave the thinking to you. Chronom only outputs conclusions: which licence, on which person, changes to what, and how much that's worth.
Twelve months with no Purview, eDiscovery, Entra P2 or Power BI usage. Desktop Office, Teams and calling all continue untouched.
Web-only Outlook sessions, no desktop activation, no Teams presence, no meetings joined in a year.
No recorded interactions in 90 days. The 36 people who do use it daily keep their seats.
Sign-in blocked at offboarding, licence never reclaimed. Mail and OneDrive content is preserved first.
Every line in a Chronom report is a decision with an owner, a SKU and a dollar figure. Nothing is left for you to go and find out.
“Low Teams usage detected” - a fact you now have to interpret
An alert queue that grows faster than you can triage it
A dashboard that hands the analysis back to you
Discovery gives you the full number. What you do with it is a policy decision, so Chronom runs in one of two modes and you set which.
Pull the number as low as the usage evidence allows. Chronom ranks every opportunity by dollar value and shows you the full ceiling before anything is decided.
Every downgrade the usage data supports is put on the table
Add-ons and overlapping SKUs are consolidated to the cheapest entitlement that still covers real usage
Premium tiers are recommended only for the people whose telemetry actually justifies them
Keep every security and compliance control exactly where it is, and optimize within those boundaries. Savings are smaller - and nobody has to defend a weakened posture.
Your security baseline is a hard boundary: Defender, Entra P1/P2, Purview, DLP and retention stay where policy requires
Compliance-scoped users, admins and privileged accounts are excluded from downgrade entirely
Savings come only from seats and add-ons that sit outside the guardrails
A one-off clean-up decays. New starters get the default SKU, projects provision add-ons, someone re-enables an account. Chronom keeps looking so it never compounds again.
Every scan compares your tenant against the baseline you approved. A new premium seat, a re-added add-on or a re-licensed leaver surfaces within a day - not in a quarterly review.
When a team asks for more seats, storage or add-ons, you can check whether the entitlement already exists in the estate before the PO goes out.
Because peak seat count is what gets reconciled, catching a spike in week one instead of month twelve is what keeps the next true-up small.
Findings don't just reappear next year. Guardrails and continuous checks keep the estate at the shape you signed off on.
