Infra & Cost Audit · sample deliverable

What a $1,900 audit actually gets you

Nobody should buy a report sight unseen. This is a realistic sample of the audit deliverable — the scorecard, the severity-ranked findings, the dollar estimates, and the 90-day roadmap.

Illustrative sample. A representative composite of a typical seed-stage AWS setup — not a real client's data. Your report is built from your infrastructure.

The real report explains each finding in plain language with exact resources, remediation steps, and effort estimates — written so your team can fix everything without us.

The 90-day roadmap

  1. Days 1–30

    Kill the P1s: IAM lockdown with MFA + least privilege; Multi-AZ database with a tested restore. Delete unattached volumes (−$3,900/yr).

  2. Days 31–60

    CI/CD pipeline with one-command rollback; right-size the fleet and migrate gp2→gp3 (−$14,200/yr); basic error-rate and latency alerts.

  3. Days 61–90

    Savings Plan on the now-stable baseline (−$8,600/yr); dashboards for uptime, latency, and spend; runbook for the top three failure modes.
