What it shows

  • Audit 90-day active usage against a strict baseline threshold (e.g., <2%).
  • Weigh ongoing maintenance costs and bug volume against business value.
  • Assess enterprise contract dependencies before announcing sunset dates.

The takeaway

Sunset features through data and dependency audits, not subjective frustration.
