Savings

Turn savings ideas into owned decisions

Keep each savings opportunity in one queue with its evidence, estimated monthly saving, owner and decision, so estimates stay separate from results.

The action gap

A recommendation list is not a savings result

Estimates look like outcomes

An opportunity value is useful for prioritization, but it is not money saved until the change is implemented and measured.

The owner is missing

An idea without a responsible team remains in the queue regardless of its estimated value.

Decisions disappear

Accepted, implemented and rejected actions need a recorded status so the same work is not repeated.

Lifecycle

Six states, six different meanings

Open

Recorded with evidence and an estimate, waiting for a decision.

Accepted

Your team has agreed to make the change.

Implemented

The change is made. The saving is still the estimate.

Rejected

Declined while open or accepted, with the reason recorded.

05 Planned

Verified

For Custom: a measurement against actual cost confirms the saving.

Withdrawn

The provider stopped recommending it before anyone acted on it. It reopens if recommended again.

Savings verification

For Custom: measure cost after implementation and record the verified saving beside the original estimate.
