Make AWS waste accountable without starting from broad access
This page is for teams that want a guided first-scan walkthrough: connect a narrow Core Scan Role, inspect the first queue together, and leave with clear owners and next actions.
20-minute fit check
Quick trust walkthrough, current AWS pain review, and confirmation that guided help is worth using.
Tiered onboarding
Core Scan Role first, optional add-ons later, and no long-lived AWS credentials.
First-queue review
Exact resources, exact $/month waste, and the first actions to assign.

Guided review workflow
What the review actually includes
The goal is not to replace the product. The goal is to accelerate first value: connect the account, inspect the highest-confidence findings, assign owners, and decide whether the self-serve workflow should continue on its own.
01
Discovery and qualification
Confirm spend band, ownership model, and trust requirements before anyone connects AWS.
02
Core Scan Role setup and first scan
Guide the narrow default role setup and get to the first scan on the same day when possible.
03
Review the top opportunities
Walk through the highest-confidence findings and the operational risk before any infrastructure changes.
04
Recommend next actions
Leave with a prioritized top-5 list, clear owners, and the right next step if the fit is strong.
What you leave with
A first-scan brief you can assign, track, and forward
Most cloud cost tools stop at a savings number. Your first scan produces a concise executive summary, a ranked action queue, and owner-ready remediation guidance. See the product tour.
Sample first-scan brief
Executive Summary
In a typical $5,000/mo account, this first scan surfaced about $424/mo in recurring, low-risk waste. That is enough to matter, but still believable for a first pass focused on obvious cleanup and storage tuning. The point is not just the detections. The first actions stay visible first: one is overdue, one is escalated, and one still needs an owner. Leadership can see what is owned, what is stuck, and what needs follow-through before the next scan.
Ranked action queue
Overdue → unassigned → monthly impact#1 priority
Idle RDS development instance
Confirm no connections for 14 days, take a final snapshot, then stop and remove the single-AZ dev instance in the next change window.
$138/mo
Owner: Platform
#2 priority
NAT route to S3 still pending
Route S3 traffic through a gateway endpoint, validate data-path performance, then remove the NAT path for that workload.
$71/mo
Owner: Networking
#3 priority
CloudWatch retention drift
Assign the owner, move noisy debug groups to 7-day retention, and keep audit-oriented logs at 30 days.
$33/mo
Owner: Unowned
#4 priority
Storage cleanup batch in 3 regions
Confirm no point-in-time recovery dependency, then delete 11 orphaned gp2 volumes and 6 stale AMI snapshots in one cleanup batch.
$94/mo
Owner: Infra
#5 priority
gp2 migration backlog
Start with 4 low-risk 150-300GB gp2 volumes in dev and staging, migrate to gp3, then re-run performance validation before queue expansion.
$88/mo
Owner: App team
Lifecycle snapshot
Assigned → overdue → escalated → resolved or snoozed. This is the workflow layer, not just a list of cleanup checks.

What this proves
- Overdue or unowned waste is obvious before it slips back into backlog debt.
- Each action shows who owns it and what should happen next.
- Leadership can forward a short summary and see what still needs escalation.
