Evale Intelligence

A decision system for your software stack. Evale Intelligence watches continuously, raises hypotheses when something deserves attention, and remembers why past decisions were made — so every renewal cycle isn't starting from scratch.

Not a dashboard you check daily. A system that knows when to surface something — and when to stay quiet.

Why decisions decay

Most teams tidy up once, then watch entropy return. Six month later, you're back to guessing.

Tools keep appearing. Nobody removes the old ones.Drift

Someone adds a tool. The old one stays. Six months later, you're paying for both — and the overlap is invisible until someone asks why you have three project management tools.

Savings disappear quietly.Erosion

Vendors raise prices. Auto-renewals trigger. Licenses creep up. The consolidation work from last year erodes — and nobody notices until finance asks why SaaS spend is up 15%.

The market moved. Your assumptions didn't.Blindness

The vendor you depend on got acquired. A cheaper alternative launched. AI made half the category obsolete. You're still operating on assumptions from two years ago.

How Evale Intelligence works

Evale Intelligence combines your inventory with company context, watches for signals, and generates hypotheses when something deserves attention. Quarterly check-ins update your data. Here's what that actually means.

Your stack — with your context built in

Tools, vendors, contracts, renewals — finally in one place. But what makes this different: your constraints, priorities, and politics are built in. The system reasons like someone who actually knows your company.

  • Every tool with owner, cost, and renewal — not what you thought you had, what you actually have
  • Your constraints captured — "No tools without SSO," "AWS-first," budget thresholds
  • Strategic context tracked — growth plans, consolidation priorities, what's coming next
  • Notes for the undocumented stuff — why that one tool is untouchable, who to talk to first

Signals → Hypotheses

The system watches what's changing — in your stack and in the market. When something deserves attention, it raises a hypothesis. Not a recommendation. Just: "This looks like it matters. Here's why."

  • Renewal proximity — before vendors send their "friendly reminder"
  • Usage shifts and cost drift — where value is declining or spend creeping
  • Overlap forming — multiple tools doing the same job
  • Vendor behavior — pricing changes, roadmap shifts, acquisition risk

Decision memory — so you're not explaining the same thing twice

When you decide to renew, replace, or wait — the system remembers. Not just what you decided. Why. What you assumed. What risks you accepted. So the next person isn't starting from scratch.

  • Decision and rationale captured — "We renewed because X, assuming Y"
  • Assumptions recorded — so you know when reality diverged from the plan
  • Risks acknowledged — what you knowingly accepted, documented
  • Review triggers — when to revisit, built into the record

Quarterly reviews — assumptions challenged together

Every 90 days, we walk through what the system surfaced. What changed. Which assumptions held. Which didn't. Not a report you read alone — a conversation that leads to decisions.

  • Active hypotheses and why they were raised
  • Usage shifts and pattern changes since last review
  • Upcoming renewals and leverage points
  • Decisions made last quarter — did the assumptions hold?

What you actually see

Not a dashboard you check every day. The system runs in the background. When something needs attention, it surfaces. When the CFO asks a question, the answer is there.

  • Watchlist — active hypotheses only, usually 5-10, often zero
  • Dashboards for cost, ownership, and category health — when leadership asks
  • Renewal timeline — what's coming, what's risky, what needs prep
  • Past decisions searchable and linked to current hypotheses

Queryable via API and MCP

Everything is accessible — inventory, context, hypotheses, decisions. Ask questions in plain language. Connect your existing tools. Your stack becomes a knowledge layer, not a locked system.

  • Full inventory and context queryable
  • Hypotheses with reasoning chain accessible
  • Decision history searchable by tool, date, or type
  • Integrate in ChatGPT via MCP — "What's risky in Q1?" "Why did we keep Tool X?"

Market context — so you're not reasoning in a vacuum

You don't track vendor pricing pages. You don't monitor which competitors got acquired. You don't know what similar companies pay. The system does. External signals feed hypotheses automatically — you get the "compared to what?" without the research.

Market Updates

Keep it. Evale Intelligence doesn't replace LeanIX, Ardoq, or your procurement tools. It sits above them — adding a judgment layer they don't provide.

Many teams use Evale alongside LeanIX, Ardoq, or procurement systems.

  • Your EAM tracks what you have — we reason about what to do with it
  • Import from existing systems — no duplicate data entry
  • Feed discovery back — shadow IT detected flows into your EA process
  • No lock-in — export everything, anytime

How to start

Two ways to begin. Both lead to the same system.

After the Stack BootcampMost Common

You completed the Stack Bootcamp. Your inventory is built, context captured, first decisions recorded. Intelligence keeps it current and compounds what you started.

  • Inventory already grounded
  • Context already captured
  • Decision memory already seeded
Explore Bootcamp

Already have your dataFor Mature Orgs

You already have inventory data — from an EAM, SAM tool, or internal system. We validate it, normalize structures, and run initial hypothesis checks. Then Intelligence takes over.

  • Import from existing systems
  • Validation and normalization included
  • First hypotheses within 2 weeks

Common Questions

What stays current automatically?Q1

Market context updates continuously — vendor pricing, alternatives, momentum signals. Your internal data updates quarterly through structured reviews with Evale. You're not maintaining a spreadsheet. You're validating what the system already knows.

How much time does this take from my team?Q1

After setup: about 2 hours per quarter. That's the review session where we walk through what changed, which hypotheses matter, and what decisions need attention. Between reviews, the system watches. You don't.

What happens to my data?Q2

Your data stays yours. Hosted in EU infrastructure. Not used to train models. Not shared across customers. Export everything anytime — full inventory, all decisions, complete history. No lock-in by design.

We already have LeanIX / an EAM. Do we need to replace it?Q3

No. Evale Intelligence sits above your existing tools. Your EAM tracks what you have. We reason about what to do with it. Most customers import from their current system — no duplicate data entry.

What's the difference between the Bootcamp and Intelligence?Q4

The Bootcamp creates clarity once. Intelligence preserves it over time. Bootcamp builds your inventory, captures context, records first decisions. Intelligence keeps it current, watches for signals, and compounds what you started. Most teams do Bootcamp first, then continue with Intelligence.

Can we stop if it's not working?Q5

Intelligence is an annual commitment — the system needs time to compound. But we're not interested in holding you hostage. If it's genuinely not delivering value after 6 months, we'll have that conversation. You always keep your data: full inventory, decision history, everything exportable.
