What would your team do with the money your Azure bill wastes?

Our share equals three months of verified savings, invoiced in three monthly parts after the savings are live on your Azure invoice. During those three months your total outflow equals what you were already paying. From month four, the full reduction is yours. Two narrow exceptions sit in your agreement and nowhere else: an amount we could not invoice in its own month because the cap left no room can follow later, and an item you implement after the review is measured on the same terms.

It depends on who watches the bill today. Where nobody owns cost we typically look for 20–40% addressable; where reviews happen occasionally, 12–30%; where an active FinOps team is already on it, 6–18%, mostly in rate optimization. Those are the ranges we work to, not a measurement of your estate. We won't promise a blanket number — the free savings check establishes yours, and we only proceed if it clears a threshold we agree together.

How long the free savings check takes depends on the size and shape of the estate — a small one is a short read, an enterprise scope runs in phases. We tell you the expected window once we have seen the scope, before you commit to anything. Fixes are implemented at a pace you set: tested, staged and reversible, sequenced around your own releases rather than ours. Savings then show on your next full Azure billing cycle. Our share only begins once those savings appear on your actual invoice, then runs over three months — never before, and never if nothing is found.

Very little. The savings check needs about 15 minutes to grant view-only access, plus one ~45-minute session on how your environment is actually used. After that you review a ranked list and approve what proceeds — an hour or two of decisions, not weeks of work. We implement the approved fixes; your team approves each gate and inherits the playbook afterwards. Most clients spend under half a day of total effort across the whole engagement.

For the savings check: view-only sight of your Azure cost and usage data — Cost Management Reader, Advisor, Resource Graph, or an export your team runs. Never your business data or application databases. For multi-tenant setups we support Azure Lighthouse delegated access. Implementation access is scoped later, with your security team.

Once our share is settled, 100% of all future savings belong to your organization — no revenue share, no lock-in. Optional care plans are scoped and quoted with your engagement summary; neither is required to keep your savings.

Then we tell you, and you owe nothing. The savings check is free and carries no obligation. If the addressable waste doesn't clear the threshold we set together, we say so plainly and walk away — we'd rather pass than sell you an engagement that won't pay for itself.

No. Every change is scoped, staged and reviewed with your engineers before it ships — nothing moves without sign-off. We work to your change windows and rollback plans, and the optimizations we make are designed to be invisible to your users and your uptime.

Against your own Azure invoice, not our estimates. We baseline your spend before we start, then measure the reduction that shows up on the real bill once changes are live. You see the same numbers we do — our share is calculated from what your invoice confirms, not from a projection.

No lock-in. Once the three-part share is settled, the relationship is done unless you want a care plan — and that's optional, scoped and quoted separately. There's no retainer, no auto-renewal and no revenue share on the savings you keep going forward.
