Visibility
See the estate the way the invoice sees it
Untagged resources, idle commitments and cross-region traffic only stay invisible while the billing surface is scattered across teams and consoles.
Multi-cloud cost advisory
Stop paying for cloud capacity nobody is using
CloudPrism rebuilds your cost model from the billing exports you already own, then hands your platform team a prioritised remediation plan — with every finding traceable back to a line on the invoice.
15 minutes, no access keys, no procurement cycle. You leave the first call with your three most expensive cost leak points.
01 / 03
Billing sources and platforms
Read-only access to what you already export
No agents, no write permissions, no key custody. We work from the cost and usage data your finance and platform teams already produce — and cover the platform layer running on top of it.
- Amazon Web Services
- Microsoft Azure
- Google Cloud Platform
Vendor names describe the platforms we audit; they imply no partnership or endorsement.
Where the money goes
Waste rarely shows up as one line on the invoice
Cloud spend leaks through the seams between teams, not through a single catastrophic decision. These are the three seams we find on almost every estate.
Read-only first scan
- 01
A defence-first mindset
The internal engineering team's first KPI is that systems never go down. Saving cost is high risk and zero reward for an internal engineer, so nobody is willing to risk touching the existing architecture.
- 02
The legacy-debt vacuum
Assets left unmanaged by business iteration and by staff departures have no internal owner willing to claim them or confirm deletion, so money routinely evaporates in the dark corners of the bill.
- 03
The management communication gap
The CFO sees only a total bill that has spiralled out of control; the technical lead sees only low-level performance metrics. Neither side has an objective third party with architecture-audit capability to mediate and hold a precise cost conversation.
Services
Three workstreams, one cost model
Each workstream stands on its own, but all three read from the same rebuilt cost model — so an improvement in one is immediately visible in the others.
Fixed fee per stage
01Cost visibility and allocation
We rebuild your cost model from the billing exports you already produce: tag coverage, ownership boundaries, service-level breakdown and the unit economics behind each product line.
- Tagging standard and enforcement plan
- Owner-level cost model
- Service and workload breakdown
- Unit-cost baseline per product line
02Commitment and architecture strategy
We test savings plans, reservations and licensing against the workloads they actually cover, and size the changes your architecture can absorb without trading away resilience.
- Commitment coverage and utilisation review
- Right-sizing plan with risk ratings
- Region, tier and topology recommendations
- Business case with modelled outcomes
03Governance and operating rhythm
We install the cadence, thresholds and exception process that keeps spend under control after the engagement ends — owned by your own finance and platform leads.
- Monthly and quarterly review cadence
- Budget thresholds and alert routing
- Exception and approval process
- Forecast accuracy tracking
Delivery
Four stages from audit to operating rhythm
Milestone based, read-only throughout, and designed so your engineers keep ownership of every change that reaches production.
No savings commission
01
Diagnose
We connect to the billing exports, inventory the estate and quantify every leak point that is provable from data alone.
- Cost and usage analysis
- Idle and orphaned resource inventory
- Quantified findings with suggested owners
02
Model
Each finding becomes a modelled outcome, a risk rating and a sequence your team can review before anything changes.
- Target architecture and commitment plan
- Modelled outcomes with confidence notes
- Sequenced remediation worklist
03
Implement
We work alongside your platform team: your engineers commit the changes, and we stay on the review calls until each one ships.
- Pairing on the highest-value changes
- Review gate before each production change
- Rollback criteria for every step
04
Operate
A recurring review of spend, tag hygiene and forecast accuracy, so the improvements hold and the next quarter starts from data.
- Quarterly spend and hygiene review
- Forecast versus actual reconciliation
- Refreshed commitments and thresholds
Engagement model
Milestone billing, no commission on what you save
A fixed fee per stage, invoiced as each milestone is accepted. We take no share of your savings and no vendor referral fees, so the only incentive in the room is an estate that costs less to run.
Qualification
Book a 15-minute architecture review
Tell us what you run and roughly what it costs, and we will bring the leak points already visible in your data. If we are not a fit, we say so on the call rather than after a proposal.
Questions
What clients ask before the first call
If yours is not here, ask it in the review — the first 15 minutes are for scoping, not selling.
No access keys required
Extended capabilities
Where the same method goes next
Once the cost model exists, it answers questions that would otherwise need a separate engagement.
Kubernetes and container spend
Namespace and workload level allocation, so a shared cluster stops being one opaque line on the invoice.
- Namespace allocation
- Cluster sizing
- Shared-cost split
AI and GPU workload governance
Reservation, spot and utilisation policy for accelerator capacity, where the cost curve is steepest and waste compounds fastest.
- Accelerator utilisation
- Reservation policy
- Experiment hygiene
Data platform and warehouse cost
Storage, compute and query economics across the lake and warehouse layers, including the pipelines that quietly drive both.
- Query cost profiling
- Storage tiering
- Pipeline efficiency
Security and compliance posture
A cost review surfaces exposed endpoints and over-privileged access anyway — we hand those findings to your security owner instead of filing them.
- Exposure inventory
- Access review
- Encryption gaps
