The cheapest defence is knowing first.
Audit exposure is almost never a surprise to the auditor. By the time an audit letter arrives, Broadcom's sales operations team has already modelled your likely shortfall based on telemetry, partner data, and your renewal trajectory. The customer is the only party that does not know the answer.
A licensing assessment closes that information asymmetry. It tells you, before the auditor does, what the exposure is, where it sits, and how much of it can be remediated unilaterally. That changes every conversation that follows.
What the assessment produces.
You receive a written entitlement register for every Broadcom product family in use, a deployment baseline drawn from your own discovery data, a reconciliation table showing variance and probable monetary exposure at Broadcom's current list pricing, and a prioritised remediation plan ranked by cost-to-close.
The deliverable is yours and stays under privilege where appropriate. We never share findings with Broadcom or any partner.
