Open Stack Forge
Find out where your software stack is quietly costing you
In just a few minutes, uncover your biggest software pressure points across cost, lock-in, integration, and scalability. This is not a generic tech checklist.

Free. Takes about 4 minutes. Get actionable insight, not just a score.
Cost Pressure
Where spend is climbing faster than value.
Lock-In Risk
How trapped you are by contracts and formats.
Integration Friction
Where disconnected tools create manual work.
Scalability & Control
Whether your stack can grow with you.
The hidden costs and risks buried in your software stack
Rising subscriptions, vendor dependence, fragmented tools, duplicated work, brittle integrations, and a stack that fights you as you grow. The audit turns those nagging frustrations into a clear map of what to fix next.
Software Cost Pressure
Spot licence creep, unused seats, and spend that keeps climbing while total software costs stay invisible across the business.
Vendor Lock-In Risk
See how tightly contracts, proprietary formats, and single-vendor dependence limit your freedom to move, negotiate, or change direction.
Integration Friction
Find where disconnected tools force manual workarounds, duplicate data entry, and spreadsheets that quietly drain your team's time.
Scalability & Control
Understand whether your stack can adapt as processes change and grow, and how confident you'd be moving your data if you ever needed to.
A strategic partner, not just another vendor
