  - practice: Right-size seat licenses
    description: >-
      Audit active vs. licensed users quarterly across Hire, Learn, and
      Perform modules. Remove inactive or departed employee seats to reduce
      per-user costs at contract renewal.
  - practice: Bundle module negotiation
    description: >-
      Trakstar offers multi-product bundles (Hire + Learn + Perform +
      Insights). Consolidating modules under a single contract may yield
      better per-user pricing vs. purchasing products individually.
  - practice: API usage auditing
    description: >-
      API access is included in Hire and Learn subscriptions. Audit API
      key usage and integrations to ensure only active integrations consume
      resources, avoiding unnecessary support overhead.
  - practice: Annual vs. multi-year terms
    description: >-
      Trakstar may offer discounts for multi-year contract commitments.
      Evaluate stability of headcount and product needs before committing
      to extended terms.
