## Unused Microsoft 365 Copilot Seat

An assigned seat is billed for the whole subscription term whether or not the person ever opens the product.

- Medium — severity
- Savings — where it shows up
- Manual — fix, change spelled out

Free to start. No card. The playground just needs your work email.

## Found, explained, handed over.

Findings with a dollar figure attached, idle, oversized, orphaned, unscheduled and undiscounted spend.

- 01. Detect — ZopNight checks this automatically across Microsoft 365, with read-only access to the account.
- 02. Explain — Every finding says exactly what to change: Reclaim an unused Copilot license. Where the saving can be proven it is priced; where it cannot, the finding says so.
- 03. Fix — The finding opens with the change already spelled out, so the fix is one ticket, not an investigation.

- applies_to_fallback: Any resource in the account
- where_it_appears: The Savings tab of Recommendations, with every affected resource listed.
