When it fits

Azure costs are rising, ownership is unclear, or a workload needs an architecture review before its next investment or production release.

What changes

An evidence-backed view of the system and a prioritized decision and action plan.

What you receive

  • Current-state architecture and evidence register
  • Findings across security, reliability, cost, operations, and performance within the agreed scope
  • Risk and owner map with documented tradeoffs
  • Prioritized action plan and executive readout

What we agree first

  • A named workload or platform boundary
  • Business objectives, constraints, and decision makers
  • Architecture information and agreed evidence access

Scope, fee, acceptance criteria, and timing are agreed before work starts.

Scope boundaries

Implementation, intrusive testing, certification, and tenant changes are not included unless separately agreed.
