Your cloud bill is lying to you. We find the truth.
Most defence contractors overspend on cloud by 20–40% and don't know it. We audit your AWS, Azure, and GCP environments, eliminate the waste, and build the governance so it doesn't come back. No tools to buy. No platforms to learn. Just savings you keep.
Cloud cost is the second-largest line item after headcount for most defence contractors. These are the conversations that start every engagement.
Your cloud bill jumped 40% and nobody can explain why
Finance is asking questions. Engineering says it's "expected growth." You need someone who can open the bill, trace every line item, and tell you exactly where the money went.
You can't tell which team, project, or environment is driving cost
Your tagging is inconsistent, shared resources blur the picture, and your cost allocation is guesswork. You're making budget decisions on incomplete data.
You know you're overspending but don't know where to cut
There are idle resources, oversized instances, and unused reservations — but nobody has the time or expertise to find them without breaking something in production.
You're running AWS, Azure, and GCP with no unified view
Each cloud has its own billing, its own discounting, its own terminology. You're managing three separate cost problems instead of one.
Developers spin up resources and nobody tracks the spend
There's no approval workflow, no budget alerts, no cost ownership. Every sprint adds infrastructure, and the bill keeps climbing.
Leadership wants a FinOps practice but you don't have the people
You need someone to build the framework, set up the tooling, define the operating model, and train your team — then hand it over.
We don't sell dashboards. We get inside your cloud accounts, find the waste, fix it, and build the system so your team keeps saving after we leave.
Audit
Full-access read-only audit of your AWS, Azure, and/or GCP accounts. We map every resource, trace every cost line, and identify waste by team, environment, and service.
Resource inventory & utilisation map
Cost allocation by team/project
Waste identification report
Quick-win savings list
Optimise
We implement the quick wins immediately — rightsizing, scheduling, eliminating idle resources. Then we tackle commitment-based discounts: Reserved Instances, Savings Plans, spot strategies.
Rightsizing recommendations & execution
Dev/staging environment scheduling
RI/SP coverage analysis & purchase plan
Spot instance strategy
Govern
We build the guardrails so costs don't creep back. Budget alerts, tagging policies, approval workflows, cost anomaly detection. Your finance team gets the reports they actually need.
Tagging strategy & enforcement
Budget alerts & anomaly detection
Cost allocation model
FinOps dashboard setup
Transfer
We document everything, train your team, and hand over the playbook. You own the practice. We step back — or stay on retainer if you want ongoing support.
FinOps operating model document
Team training & enablement
Runbook for monthly optimisation
Optional ongoing retainer
You keep every pound saved.
We don't just hand you a report and disappear. Here's what's different when the engagement ends.
"We don't know what we spend by team or project."
Every pound allocated to a named team, project, and environment — with automated tagging that stays enforced.
"We get bill surprises every month."
Budget alerts fire before you overspend. Anomalies flagged in real time. Finance sees the forecast before the invoice.
"Nobody owns cloud cost. It's everyone's problem and nobody's job."
Named cost owner with a monthly review cadence, documented operating model, and clear escalation path.
"We're paying for resources nobody uses anymore."
Idle resources auto-flagged and terminated. Dev environments scheduled. Savings locked in with commitment plans.
Share what you can. We'll come back with an honest assessment of what we can save you — no pitch deck, no 30-page proposal.
What happens next
We respond within one working day with an honest take on whether we can help. If there's a fit, we suggest a 30-minute call to understand your environment.
No obligation. No procurement pressure. If we can't save you meaningfully more than our fee, we'll tell you.
Most clients see first savings within 4 weeks of engagement.
