The AWS Assessment
Know exactly what's running in your AWS account, what it costs, what's at risk — and what to do about it. Every claim cited to evidence from your own account data.

What You Get
One branded report, four things no dashboard gives you.
Architecture & Dependency Map
What talks to what — DNS to edge to compute to data — reconstructed from your live account, not from stale docs. Includes the "if this dies, what breaks" chains for your load-bearing pieces. If you ever change vendors, this document alone ends the consultant lock-in problem.
Cost Findings With Evidence
Every savings claim traces to your Cost Explorer data or a published AWS price — resource IDs included, math shown. No "industry averages," no padding. Typical engagements surface 15–25% of monthly spend.
Security & IAM Hygiene
Stale access keys, users without MFA, over-broad permissions, DNS records pointing at servers you no longer own. The stuff cyber-insurance questionnaires ask about — answered from your actual account before the auditor asks.
A Scoped, Priced Project List
Findings clustered into fixed-price implementation projects with effort, savings, and payback period — accept any, all, or none. Some findings you'll fix yourself in an afternoon; the report says which ones those are.
How It Works
// step 1 · 10 minutes
Grant Read-Only Access
You create a read-only IAM policy from my setup guide — metadata and billing data only, no ability to touch your resources, revocable by you at any time.
// step 2 · days 1–4
The Deep Sweep
My AI-assisted tooling reads everything — every bucket, key, DNS record, function, and cost line — and I apply twenty years of judgment to what it finds. A manual review of this depth runs 20–40 consultant-hours and still misses things. Mine doesn't get tired.
// step 3 · day 5
Report & Walkthrough
You get the PDF plus a call to walk the findings, in plain English for whoever signs the AWS bill. Then you decide what happens next — with me, with your own team, or not at all.
The guarantee: if the assessment doesn't surface findings you consider worth acting on, you don't pay. Simple as that.
After the Assessment
AWS Oversight Retainer — $299/mo
The assessment re-runs monthly and diffs against the last one: what got fixed, what's still open, what regressed, what's new — plus a plain-English explanation of your bill for whoever reads it. Your first assessment fee is credited to month one.
Compliance Evidence Pack — +$150/mo
For teams facing SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI, or cyber-insurance questionnaires: a quarterly evidence snapshot — who has access, what's encrypted, what's logged, what's backed up — mapped to your framework, pulled from the live account.
