Cloud Cost Audit

For SaaS teams whose cloud bill is the bigger problem. One week, read-only, with every saving ranked by $/month and given a risk rating.

audit --cloud

1 week

From read-only billing access to a priced fix list

Spend broken down by service, environment and owner, with the waste and tagging gaps behind it.

  • Read-only access

    Nothing in your systems is changed during the audit.

  • The report is yours

    Hand the fix list to anyone. It isn't tied to buying the follow-on.

  • Implementation is optional

    Scoped from your findings, priced per package.

Who it's for

Good fit
  • Founders and engineering leads at seed to Series B SaaS (US, EU, UAE, Singapore, ANZ)
  • A cloud bill that keeps rising
  • Untagged resources, and nobody who owns cost
Not a fit
  • Teams that need a full cloud migration. This is a one-week read-only audit, not a re-platforming project.
  • Teams that want 24/7 operations or on-call cover. The audit finds savings; it doesn't run your infrastructure.
  • Teams that need a security audit. Cost findings only, not a security review.

What the audit covers

  • Spend by service, environment and owner

    Where the bill goes, and who can change each line of it.

  • Waste findings

    Idle, oversized and orphaned resources, each with its monthly cost.

  • Tagging gaps

    The spend that can't be allocated today, and the tags that would fix it.

  • Dollar savings with a risk rating

    Each fix ranked by $/month and by how risky the change is, then a readout call.

Done means: the report is delivered with dollar findings.

What you provide

Under NDA. The agreement includes an anonymized case-study clause (industry, scale, relative metrics).

  • Read-only billing access: Cost & Usage Report or Cost Explorer, via a read-only IAM role
  • Read-only infrastructure access

After the audit: DevOps implementation

Optional. Each package is fixed-scope and fixed-price, built from your fix list, and takes 2–4 weeks.

Savings sprint

Rightsizing, cleanup and commitments from the fix list.

Cost governance

Tagging, budgets and alerts, so spend stays owned.

Delivery fixes

CI/CD and infrastructure as code, where the findings point.

You provide
Change access, with a rollback plan for every change
Measured by
Monthly bill reduction against the audit baseline

Questions

How do I start?

Book a free 30-minute cost check. If the audit fits, I send a fixed-scope, fixed-price proposal. If it doesn't, I'll say so.

What does it cost?

A fixed price, quoted after the review call once the scope is clear.

Will you change anything in our account?

No. The audit is read-only. Changes only happen in a follow-on package, with a rollback plan for each one.

Do we have to buy the follow-on?

No. You keep the report, and you can hand the fix list to anyone.

Qualification form

* Required

For an LLM feature: cost, quality, latency or failures. For a role: the team and the work. A rough answer is enough.
