GHOST TAX
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Clear answers to common questions about Ghost Tax, our methodology, pricing, and security.
PRODUCT & METHODOLOGY
Ghost Tax is a financial intelligence platform that detects hidden exposure in SaaS, AI, and Cloud spending. We use a 21-phase deterministic pipeline to analyze spending patterns, identify leakage, and deliver corrective protocols. No system access required — we work from public signals and user-declared data.
Every finding includes a confidence score (0-85). We separate observed signals from inferred and estimated ones. Our scores are conservative by design — we never overclaim. Typical accuracy improves significantly when combined with internal data intake in the Stabilization tier.
12 types across three domains: SaaS (inactive licenses, duplicate tools, shadow IT, license tier misalignment), AI (ungoverned consumption, redundant models, unoptimized inference), and Cloud (idle resources, over-provisioning, commitment waste, egress inefficiency).
PRICING & BILLING
We believe financial intelligence should be accessible. €490 is designed to be an impulse decision for any CFO or CIO — no procurement cycle, no vendor call, no demo. The typical detection finds 18-57x the cost in recoverable exposure.
We accept all major credit cards, SEPA direct debit, and bank transfers for enterprise engagements. Payments are processed securely via Stripe. Invoicing available for Stabilization and Mission tiers.
If your detection reveals less than €5,000 in annual exposure, contact us within 14 days for a full refund. We stand behind our methodology.
SECURITY & DATA
For the free scan and Detection: only a company domain. No API access, no system agents, no credentials. For Stabilization and Mission tiers, we accept optional internal data (spending reports, vendor contracts) through a secure upload — but it's never required.
All data is stored in US-East-1 (Virginia) on SOC2-certified infrastructure. Data is encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3). Raw analysis data is automatically purged after 30 days.
Never. Your data is yours. We don't sell, share, or use client data for training models. Our privacy policy is clear and specific. See /legal/privacy for full details.

CFO & CTO OBJECTIONS
SaaS management tools inventory what you have. Ghost Tax reveals what you're losing — the financial exposure from misaligned contracts, shadow AI, zombie licenses, and missed negotiation windows. We deliver a Decision Pack with EUR-quantified findings, not a dashboard you need to interpret.
In every analysis conducted, we've never found zero exposure. But if we don't identify at least 15% in addressable savings, you get a full refund. Our 30-day money-back guarantee has teeth.
Yes — every Decision Pack includes a board-ready one-pager, CFO memo, CIO brief, and procurement action plan. They're designed to circulate internally and drive action.
We don't need access to your systems. Our analysis uses your domain and publicly available intelligence — vendor contracts, market benchmarks, and enrichment from major SaaS vendors. Zero-knowledge protocol: we never touch your internal data.
Free tools give you a dashboard. We give you a financial intelligence report with actionable EUR figures, negotiation playbooks, and a corrective protocol. The €490 typically pays for itself 7-15x in the first quarter of implementation.
