Reduce Information Waste
Decide What Deserves to Stay Before You Move or Process It
Decide What Deserves to Stay Before You Move or Process It
Identify redundant, obsolete, and trivial information within the examined estate. Use evidence and review to reduce unnecessary storage, migration, and processing work.
Establish the Baseline
Start with Refinery inventory to understand file counts, volumes, dates, ownership, and duplication. Apply deeper content analysis where the decision requires it.
Review Cleanup Candidates
ROT findings identify candidates, not permission to delete. Check retention, legal holds, authoritative copies, access, and owner approvals before governed disposal.
Measure the Result
Compare the baseline with capacity released or processing avoided after approved action. Separate estimated opportunity from demonstrated savings and avoid counting the same benefit twice.
