Annual spend on platforms where less than 60% of features are actively used. The cost of capability you're paying for but not capturing.
Platform Tax Relief Program
How much is your stack actually costing you?
Most B2B marketing teams pay far more than their license invoices show. The Platform Tax Audit reveals the full cost — across five hidden tax lines.
34%avg platform feature utilization
87%of intent signals unreliable
$680kavg annual Platform Tax burden
Your five tax lines
The cost of connecting platforms that were sold as interoperable — middleware tools, API maintenance, and RevOps time spent on workflows that break.
FTEs and agency hours dedicated to operating and administering platforms — instead of driving pipeline. The platform whisperer problem made visible.
Budget spent activating against intent signals and account scores that never convert. Research shows up to 87% of third-party intent signals produce no measurable pipeline.
The sunk cost trap — migration costs, retraining, contract break fees, and months of lost productivity that keep you locked in even when the ROI is gone.
