Savings validation & realization

Saving validation - separating approved savings from optimism

Only validated savings make it through — planned savings stay planned until they’re approved, realized, and ready to report.

How it works

Savings validation without the annual argument

Because “we think” isn’t the same as “it’s approved”.

1
Capture the savings idea with intent

Every savings initiative starts as a proposal, not a promise. Baseline, assumptions, timing, and ownership are recorded upfront so finance knows what’s being claimed and why — before any numbers are celebrated.

2
Keep savings projected until they’re earned

Savings stay clearly marked as projected while delivery is in progress. No early credit. No blending forecasts with outcomes. Everyone can see what’s still an assumption versus what’s been validated.

3
Validate savings as delivery happens

As milestones are completed, savings move forward deliberately — with evidence, context, and timing attached. Validation happens step by step, not as a last-minute annual clean-up.

4
Report only what stands up

Dashboards separate pipeline, projected, and validated savings automatically. When finance asks “what’s approved?”, the answer is already there
