FinOps / Cloud Cost Intelligence

I turn your cloud bill into a board-level financial decision.

AWS, Azure and GCP bills are operational data. Finance needs the commercial answer: what changed, what is waste, what is committed, what can be stopped, and what the board should approve next.

Decision: stop idle resources first, then approve commitment only after owner mapping.
Free 60-second triage

Find whether the bill needs a quick audit or a full FinOps model.

This is indicative only. The paid audit uses billing exports, service-level spend and owner mapping before giving a written recommendation.

Cloud Spend Triage

Run the triage to estimate monthly avoidable spend and the right next step.

Proof of work

A labelled worked-example report will be built from our own sandbox billing export.

The first public sample will be clearly labelled as an illustrative worked example. It will use our own AWS/Azure/GCP sandbox data, transformed into a FOCUS-style cost model and dashboard.

This matters because the service should not be sold from theory alone. The sandbox exercise teaches the console layer and creates a genuine demonstration of the analysis method.
