Question 1

What access do you need?

Accepted Answer

Read-only billing and usage access — your cost and usage reports, Cost Explorer, and resource metadata. Everything is scoped to the accounts you approve, and you can revoke it at any time.

Question 2

Is it safe to run against production?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Analysis is read-only and non-destructive — nothing is resized, deleted, or changed during the assessment. We only read billing and utilization data to quantify what a change would save.

Question 3

What does the assessment cost?

Accepted Answer

For self-serve teams it is free. For enterprise engagements we charge a nominal assessment fee that is fully credited against your first program — it gives your finance and procurement teams the contract vehicle they need to grant access.

Question 4

What happens after the readout?

Accepted Answer

You get exactly one priced recommendation, based on what the assessment found. There is no obligation — the cost map, the savings plans, and the report are yours to keep either way.

Question 5

How fast is it, really?

Accepted Answer

Discovery starts the moment you connect, and your quantified savings are ready in minutes. Readout calls with a FinOps engineer are capped each week — if the week is full, you get the next open slot.
