Technology assessment
Cloud cost / FinOps audit
A defined assessment to turn uncertainty into an ordered set of decisions.
Who this helps
Finance and technology leaders who need spend ownership and a prioritised savings plan without guessing.
The decision it supports
Which cost actions are worth taking and who owns them.
Within the agreed boundary
We examine the systems, records, processes and operating practices inside the scope you approve before work starts. Access and data-handling terms are agreed first.
How the assessment runs
Discovery
Confirm objectives, boundary, stakeholders and available evidence.
Review
Inspect configurations, interfaces, data or operating practice within scope.
Analysis
Prioritise findings by business impact and effort.
Readout
Walk through the report and remediation plan with your team (two hours).
What you receive
Spend by service and team
Attributes cloud cost to services and owners so decisions have a named party.
Quantified waste opportunities
Lists idle or oversized resources with estimated impact, not a guaranteed saving.
Committed-use scenarios
Compares commitment options against observed usage patterns.
Savings plan with owners
Turns findings into an ordered backlog with accountable owners.
Access and participation
A named decision owner, an agreed system boundary, relevant documentation and approved access. Stakeholder time for interviews and the readout is required. We agree data handling and confidentiality before reviewing client information.
Assumptions that affect duration and price
The published duration is indicative. Estate size, access delays and stakeholder availability can change the calendar. The fee and completion date are confirmed in writing before work begins — they are not the same as the indicative day count.
What is excluded
This is a technical assessment, not a legal opinion or a compliance certification. It does not include remediation build unless you commission that separately.
After the findings
Findings are prioritised by business impact and effort. You can use them with your internal team, another partner or Nervescape. The next step is your decision.
Start with clarity.
