Cut
Remove former-employee seats, dormant accounts, unused add-ons, and tools with no current business job.
License waste
Finding a duplicate license is the beginning, not the decision.
Unused seats and duplicate tools are signals. The responsible action depends on use, capability, contracts, security, and switching cost.
Primary decision: Keep / Cut / Consolidate / Replace.
This is one signal inside the broader Savings Map. Evidence, capability, economics, and risk determine the final action.

Consolidate
Two active tools doing similar work may be consolidated, but feature, integration, and owner requirements must be tested first.
Keep
A second tool can be rational when it serves a distinct workflow, risk requirement, or business unit.
Replace candidate
Only after the replacement economics gate shows positive net value and acceptable risk.
Keep the framework connected
One problem can have more than one responsible answer.
Do not treat a category label as an automatic cancellation order. Confirm the owner, use, contract, business job, risk, and net economics.
