Front matter
The workbook — five sections
Introduction
Most business owners have a vague sense that their tool stack is costing them too much. This workbook turns that vague sense into a specific number , and then gives you a structured plan for doing something about it. There are no tricks here. Just honest arithmetic and a framework that makes the next step obvious.
Section 1
List every tool your business is currently running on , whether you're paying for it or not. Include free tiers. Free still costs you attention.
| Tool name | What I use it for | $/mo | Hrs/wk | Decision | SIO feature / note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Use the dropdown in each row ↓ | ◆ Replace ◆ Connect ◆ Cut | See Appendix for full list | |||
| Totals | $0 | 0 | Carry these into Section 2 → | ||
Section 2
Enter your totals from Section 1. This section calculates your true monthly and annual Tenant Tax , the number most founders have never seen.
Your inputs
Your Tenant Tax results
My Tenant Tax number (write it here)
Section 3
For every tool in your inventory, make one of three decisions. This is how you build your exit plan from the Tenant Tax.
Replace
SIO has native functionality that fully covers this tool. Cancel after migrating.
Connect
SIO integrates with this tool. Keep it, but link it in so data flows through SIO.
Cut
You don't genuinely need this. You're paying out of habit, hope, or inertia.
Go back to your inventory in Section 1 and assign a decision to each tool using the dropdown. Then summarise your three lists below:
Replace (list tools)
Count: tools
Connect (list tools)
Count: tools
Cut (list tools)
Count: tools
Estimated monthly saving from Cut tools ($)
My highest-friction workflow to migrate first
Section 4
A sequenced, low-risk path to consolidation. Migrate one workflow at a time. Never cancel a tool before its replacement is running cleanly.
Start with the workflow that costs you the most in tool-switching and manual handoffs , usually lead capture through to follow-up. This is your beachhead. Don't touch anything else until this runs cleanly in SIO.
Before building anything in SIO, write out every step of the workflow on paper or in a doc. What triggers it? What happens at each step? Where does a human need to act vs. where can automation handle it?
Build the workflow inside SIO using the relevant features from your Replace list. Then run it live alongside the old tools for 5–7 days , not as a test, as the real thing. Only declare victory once it has run cleanly without intervention.
Only after the SIO workflow has run cleanly for 5+ days: cancel the tools it replaced. Log the saving. This is the moment you stop paying rent on that part of your business.
Return to Section 3, pick your next-highest-friction workflow from the Replace list, and repeat Steps 1–4. Each cycle makes the next one faster. After 3–4 cycles, your business runs on a unified engine.
Section 5 · Your next step
You've completed the audit. You have your Tenant Tax number. You know which tools to Replace, Connect, and Cut. The only thing left is to actually build the unified engine , and that's exactly what SIO and your Activation Path guide will walk you through.
