Overview

What this engagement is

A quick, experienced read on whether your cloud spend makes sense for what you run. Export a month of billing data, give us a brief description of the workload, and we will highlight the lines that look out of place: an oversized database, cross-zone data transfer, storage left on its default tier, or an environment nobody remembered to switch off. This is a skim rather than a full audit, so it will not catch everything, but it is designed to surface the obvious savings quickly.

Deliverables

What you receive

6 items
  • Review of one month of billing data from your cloud provider
  • The 5 most questionable line items, with our reasoning
  • Estimated monthly saving for each item
  • A view on whether your spend is typical for a workload like yours
  • A recommendation on whether a full cost audit would be worthwhile
  • Written summary delivered by email

Outcomes

What changes once it ships

A fast, independent opinion on whether your bill is reasonable

Obvious waste identified within days for the price of a dinner

A straight answer on whether deeper work would pay for itself

Process

How the 4 stages run

  1. Send

    You export the billing detail and briefly describe the workload

  2. Review

    An engineer reads the bill against the architecture you describe

  3. Rank

    Questionable lines ordered by their monthly value

  4. Report

    A written summary of what looks wrong and what to do about it

A strong fit for

  • Founders whose cloud bill has quietly doubled
  • Finance teams without a technical view of infrastructure spend
  • Anyone wondering whether a full cost audit is justified

What we need from you

  • A billing export covering one full month, ideally with resource-level detail
  • A few lines on what you run and roughly how much traffic you handle

You share these through the brief that opens in your client dashboard once payment is confirmed. The timeline starts when they arrive.
