The usual first step in a technology engagement is a long questionnaire. The client's people fill it in from memory, and the answers come back late and partly wrong. Before a client call in August 2026, Robby Prochnow built a prototype so nobody would have to send one.

Aegis Lens runs inside the client's environment and reads the systems directly: identity, devices, cloud, code, software billing, expenses, vendor ledgers, network scans and the staff roster. It joins them into one picture and leaves the uncertain matches for a person to confirm. It ranks what it finds with the evidence attached, from admin accounts without multi-factor sign-in to idle cloud and overlapping tools.

Two rules shape what it says. Any saving is given as a range, never a single number. And nothing goes to the client until a person approves it. He showed the prototype on sample data on August 18 and 19, and by the end of September it was a named product, ready to show clients.
