Recommendations & decisions

How recommendations work

Recommendations are Nagata's core output. Each one is a specific, evidence-backed action your team can take to reduce waste, consolidate tools, or make a smarter buying decision.

How they're generated

Click Generate recommendations on the Recommendations page. Nagata runs a set of rules across your data and produces a prioritized list.

Rules are fully deterministic — no AI model decides whether to flag something. Every recommendation shows exactly which data it used and what formula it applied. Re-generating is safe: Nagata updates existing recommendations rather than creating duplicates.

The seven rules

1. Ownerless high-spend vendor

An active vendor is spending $5,000 or more per year and has no owner assigned.

2. Inactive vendor with a renewal

A vendor is marked as inactive but still has an active contract with an upcoming renewal.

3. Duplicate tools

You have multiple active vendors in the same category (e.g., two analytics platforms).

4. AI spend growth

Month-over-month AI API spend grew by 50%+ and the dollar increase is at least $200.

5. AI duplicate provider

You're paying material amounts on multiple models from the same provider.

6. AI expensive workflow

A single LLM workflow is consuming more than 40% of your total monthly AI spend.

7. AI high user

A single user is responsible for more than 50% of monthly AI API spend.
