What is model and tool sprawl?

Model and tool sprawl is the unmanaged accumulation of overlapping AI products, like three coding assistants or two chat tools, each with its own bill and contract. It inflates cost and fragments usage data. Spendassay detects overlapping tools across connectors and prices the redundancy as a tool-overlap finding your admins can consolidate.

Every figure Spendassay publishes about model and tool sprawl carries a proof level saying how much guessing sits behind it, and opens to show the rows it was computed from. The full method is on the methodology page.
