Know exactly what to do with your office.
Vygil analyzes your workplace, lease, and headcount inputs and delivers a clear recommendation: stay, reduce, relocate, sublease, or exit — and where relevant, assess options such as sale-leaseback — with quantified financial impact, downside risk, and a defensible demand forecast.
Not another dashboard. Not another consulting deck.
Vygil is an AI-enabled office decision service for companies that need to decide what to do with an office, but do not yet have a clear answer.
Some organizations already have badge data, lease information, and headcount plans. Others have only fragments: attendance estimates, peak-day frustrations, floor plans, lease dates, local assumptions, and disconnected spreadsheets. Many do not yet know which data actually matters or how to structure it for a sound decision.
We help identify what matters, what you already have, what needs cleaning, and what is missing. Then we turn that into a clear business recommendation with quantified financial impact and risk.
You send what you have. We help structure the inputs. We do the decision work.
Most companies can describe office utilisation. Few can decide what to do next.
Some companies have badge data and detailed attendance records. Many do not. Some only know that certain days feel too full, some spaces feel underused, and lease pressure is approaching. Others have local narratives, but no real understanding of how the office is actually being used.
Even when there is data, it is often incomplete, inconsistent, poorly structured, or not decision-ready. And when there is no strong badge culture, the business still needs a way to estimate real demand, clean inputs, and make a defensible call.
The real question is not whether data exists. The real question is: do we understand enough to make the right office decision?
- Badge and attendance data
- Lease costs and expiry dates
- Team growth assumptions
- Headcount plans
- Portfolio spreadsheets and dashboards
- Local business views on demand
- A clear understanding of how the office is actually utilised
- A decision recommendation
- Quantified cost and savings
- Downside risk visibility
- A case leadership can approve
Vygil helps leadership move from “we need more analysis” to “here is the decision” with supported data.
The kinds of decisions Vygil is built to solve.
Renew or reduce?
A regional office faced a lease event within 15 months, but attendance demand was volatile and internal assumptions were inconsistent. Vygil modeled peak usage, future scenarios with confidence bands, likely cost paths, and downside risk, then recommended a reduced footprint instead of a full renewal.
Outcome: Lower long-term cost, clearer executive alignment, and a defensible recommendation.
Too much space for actual demand
A company had resumed office attendance unevenly across functions, leaving one location visibly underused but politically difficult to challenge. Vygil analyzed actual demand patterns and scenario-tested a smaller footprint.
Outcome: A credible reduction case and policy recommendations without relying on anecdotal judgment.
Reduce footprint without creating capacity risk
A leadership team needed savings, but feared making the wrong cut and creating future shortage. Vygil compared relocate, stay, reduce, and sublease options using volatility, growth assumptions, and cost trade-offs.
Outcome: Faster portfolio action with quantified risk rather than guesswork.
Demand for more space without sufficient evidence
Local leadership argued for a significantly larger office or an additional floor ahead of a lease event, but the demand case was not clearly evidenced. Vygil tested the real requirement, structured the assumptions, and sized the space against likely demand.
Outcome: A right-sized recommendation with significant P&L protection and a clearer basis for executive challenge or approval.
You send what you have. Vygil does the office decision work.
Vygil turns fragmented or incomplete workplace inputs into a structured, quantified office decision.
Share the information you already have
Badge data, lease terms, headcount assumptions, portfolio context, floor plans, or even partial attendance records. If the inputs are messy or incomplete, we help identify what matters and structure the decision basis.
Vygil models demand, cost, and risk
We assess actual attendance patterns, peak demand, growth assumptions, volatility, and downside exposure — not just average utilisation.
We evaluate the real options
Stay, reduce, relocate, sublease, exit, and where relevant, more complex options such as sale-leaseback. Each path is compared on cost, implications, and risk.
You receive a decision-ready recommendation
A concise executive output showing what to do, why it makes sense, and what the business impact looks like.
This is not another analytics tool to manage. It is an office decision delivered.
Traditional office analysis is slow, fragmented, and hard to defend.
Vygil compresses a messy internal decision cycle into a structured, defensible outcome.
