Is the audit fee credited if we go ahead?

Yes, once. If you sign a build, a Fix Sprint, a software project or a retainer with a 3-month minimum within 60 days of the day we deliver the report, the full audit fee is credited against it.

Do you need access to our store or systems?

Usually read-only or collaborator access to your store, analytics and code, as listed in the proposal. You grant it, you can revoke it at any time, and we never ask you to share a password.

Executive summary

Most waste is idle staging capacity. The bigger risk is the database backup that has never been restored.

You get: Cost + risk report + walkthrough
Takes: 10 working days

Sample report. The store and the figures are illustrative; yours is written from your own data.

What we review

Cloud infrastructure tends to grow by accretion: each feature adds resources, but nothing is ever removed or right-sized. This audit reads your actual usage against what you are paying for, flags reliability gaps that could cause an outage, and identifies the changes that would cut costs without touching application code.

Cost & utilisation
Compute and database right-sizing against observed load
Reliability & failover
Single points of failure, and the recovery time you plan for against the time a real restore took
Security posture
IAM policy and network exposure review
IaC coverage
Proportion of infrastructure managed by Terraform or equivalent
Observability
Alerting gaps and mean time to detect
