Cloud Cost
Opportunity Scan
A fixed-scope, mostly asynchronous diagnostic completed in five business days. Built to be small enough to buy quickly — and to open a clear path to recovery work when the numbers justify it.
Who this is for
Engineering-led SaaS or AI companies with meaningful AWS or Kubernetes spend and a recent economic trigger.
Spend that matters
Working ICP test range: roughly 10–200 employees and about $15k–$250k monthly cloud spend. Not a permanent niche — a launch filter.
Limited FinOps capacity
You do not need a full FinOps team. You need ranked opportunities and a credible next step.
A live trigger
Growth, AI launch, free tier, margin pressure, migration, or infrastructure consolidation — something that makes unit economics newly painful.
What you provide
- →Read-only cloud billing exports (AWS Cost and Usage Report / Cost Explorer export preferred)
- →Short architecture context: major workloads, Kubernetes footprint, AI/ML spend if any
- →Written answers to a short qualification questionnaire
- →Optional: tagging or account structure notes
What you get
- →Ranked savings and unit-economics opportunity map
- →Three priority actions with estimated impact ranges
- →Evidence gaps called out explicitly
- →Recommended next step: self-implement, recovery sprint, or pause
Boundaries
- ✓No production changes during the Scan
- ✓No multi-month transformation proposal as the entry offer
- ✓No claim of savings without stating confidence and evidence quality
- ✓AWS-first language for the launch offer; multi-cloud only when your billing shows it

Five business days from complete inputs
If the map justifies it: a $5k–$15k recovery sprint, or a lower fixed fee plus participation in verified savings when attribution is clean.
