The Hidden Tax

A 90-minute audit kit that finds A$200 to A$10,000 per month in operational waste. The exact framework I run on Cancel Costs consulting clients, in your hands.

What this actually is

A 90-minute audit kit. Not a course. Not a webinar. A document you read, a prompt you paste into Claude or ChatGPT, and a clear list of cancellations and renegotiation emails to send. By dinner time today.

The framework is the same one I use on paying consulting clients at cancelcosts.com, where the typical engagement recovers 30 to 50 percent of operational cost inside 90 days.

What you get

A single PDF plus markdown bundle:

• The four-leak framework, explained in plain English (no consultant-speak)
• The 90-minute audit, step by step
• Three battle-tested AI prompts (classification, renegotiation, cancellation) you paste into Claude or ChatGPT
• The typical magnitude table by business size, so you know what "good" looks like
• A clear hand-off point: when to bring in help vs DIY

Who this is for

• Founders running businesses between $0 and $50M revenue
• Operators in service businesses (legal, accounting, consulting, agencies, professional services)
• Solo consultants and bootstrap SaaS founders auditing their own stack
• COOs of mid-market companies who suspect there is leak but have not been given time to look

Not for: anyone looking for a Done-For-You service (that is what Cancel Costs does). Not for tax planning, accounting cleanup, or expense report tools.

What "good" looks like by company size

What this is NOT

• It is not a software tool you log into. It is a document.
• It is not generated by AI fluff. I wrote every line.
• It is not aspirational. Every line is something I have actually done with a paying client.
• It is not a quick-win listicle. It is a discipline. Run it quarterly.

FAQ

Is this a re-skinned ChatGPT prompt pack?

No. The prompts are part of it, but the value is the four-leak framework and the 90-minute audit sequence. The prompts only work because they sit inside the framework.

Does this work outside Australia?

Yes. The framework is currency-agnostic. The example prices are in A$ but you can run it on any currency. Vendor names mentioned are global SaaS.

Do I need to be an AI expert?

No. You need to be able to copy and paste into claude.ai or chatgpt.com. That is it.

Do you offer a Done-For-You version?

Yes. cancelcosts.com is exactly that. The kit is for people who want to DIY first. If you would rather have me run it for you, the engagement fee is variable based on company size and we guarantee multiples on it.
