Before you begin: This workbook works best when you have 60–90 uninterrupted minutes, access to your bank statement or subscription list, and a rough sense of your hourly rate (what an hour of your working time is worth to your business).

Introduction

How to Use This Workbook

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.

One rule before you start: Use your bank statement , not your memory , to build the inventory in Section 1. Founders who work from memory undercount their tool spend by an average of 35%. The bank statement is the only honest starting point.

Section 1

The Audit

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.

How to complete this table: Open your bank statement alongside this section. List every SaaS tool, subscription, and software cost you can find. Then add any free tools you use regularly. For each one, estimate the hours per week you spend managing it , not using it productively, but managing it (logins, troubleshooting, updating, context-switching).

Section 2

The Calculator

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

Not sure of your hourly rate? Divide your target annual revenue by 2,000 (average working hours/year). A $100K target = $50/hr.

Section 3

The Map

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.

Target ratio: Aim for 40% Replace · 30% Connect · 30% Cut. If your Cut column is below 25%, you are being too generous with your own tool habits. Be ruthless here , this is money and RAM you are giving away monthly.

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)

Cut (list tools)

My highest-friction workflow to migrate first

Section 4

The Migration Plan

A sequenced, low-risk path to consolidation. Migrate one workflow at a time. Never cancel a tool before its replacement is running cleanly.

1

Identify your highest-friction workflow

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.

  • I have identified my #1 friction workflow:
  • I know which tools currently power that workflow
  • I have confirmed SIO can replace or connect all of them
2

Map the workflow on paper first

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?

  • I have mapped the workflow with trigger, steps, and outcome
  • I have identified which steps need automation vs. manual action
  • I know what "success" looks like for this workflow in SIO
3

Build and activate in SIO , then run live for 5–7 days

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.

  • Workflow built in SIO using the Activation Path guide
  • Workflow has run live for at least 5 days without errors
  • I have confirmed all automations trigger correctly
4

Cancel the replaced tools , and reclaim the cash

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.

  • Tools cancelled:
  • Monthly saving from this migration: $
5

Repeat for your next workflow

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.

  • My next workflow to migrate:
  • Target date for next migration:
