Net recovered

per month

A model, not a measured customer outcome. Built from your inputs at $25 per manually resolved L1 ticket; the automatable share is an adjustable assumption. Password resets and access alone are 20–50% of L1 volume (Gartner). License upside models $200/seat/yr, inside the $150–250 range published for inactive enterprise licenses; industry SaaS-management indexes report roughly half of purchased licenses sitting idle (Zylo, CoreView). AscendCore proves reclaimed value on a chain-verified Savings Ledger, visible in the live demo.

The ROI Reality Check

The math is straightforward.

The average IT help desk ticket costs $25 to resolve manually. AscendCore automates the identity-access and provisioning work that drives the majority of L1 tickets, and password resets alone are 20–50% of service-desk volume (Gartner), so you aren't buying software, you're buying back your engineers' time.
