Cloud Spend Spot Check

01

The problem this solves

A brief judgement on whether the spend matches the workload behind it. Send a month of billing, describe what runs, and we will identify the entries that look misplaced: a database far larger than needed, transfer between zones, storage left on a default tier, an environment nobody remembers. It is a narrow review rather than an audit, so it shows whether the deeper work is worth commissioning.

02

What you receive

  1. One month of billing data from your provider, read through
  2. The 5 entries we find most doubtful, each with our argument
  3. An estimated monthly saving against every one of them
  4. A judgement on whether your spend is ordinary for a workload like yours
  5. A view on whether the full cost audit would repay itself
  6. A written summary delivered by email

03

What changes afterwards

An outside judgement, quickly, on whether the bill makes sense

Plain waste identified within days for a small fixed fee

Clarity on whether a deeper audit would earn back its cost

04

Is it the right fit?

Ideal for

  • Founders whose infrastructure bill has doubled without explanation
  • Finance staff with no technical view of what infrastructure costs
  • Anyone unsure whether the full audit is warranted

What we need from you

  • A complete month of billing export, ideally down to resource level
  • A few lines on what you run and the traffic it handles

05

Before you buy

Yes. It is in Indian rupees with 18% GST included, and it is exactly what you pay at checkout. Nothing is added afterwards for the scope listed on this page.

The working days are counted from the day we hold your payment, the completed brief and everything listed under “What we need from you”. If an input arrives late, the handover date moves by the same number of days.

Ask before you buy. We will confirm in writing whether it sits inside this scope, point you to a better-fitting service, or tell you it needs separate work.

On full payment, the code, configuration, designs and documents produced for this service belong to your organisation, as set out in our Terms.

Each unit repeats the listed scope once. It does not stretch a single unit to cover more.
