— Engagement Methodology

Three phases. Full cost traceability.

Every engagement runs the same sequence: map ownership, build the translation layer, install accountability loops. No phase is skipped. No guessing.

/ How the work runs

Structured from day one

01 — Spend Audit

02 — Translation Layer

03 — Accountability Loops

Engineering metrics and finance line items run on separate vocabularies. We build the mapping that makes cloud costs legible to both sides without requiring either to change tools.

We map every line item to a resource owner. Untagged spend, orphaned instances, and shared-service allocations are identified before any recommendation is made.

Cost visibility is embedded into existing sprint reviews and finance cycles. The feedback loop runs after the engagement ends — not only during it.

Grounded in real tooling

Decisions traced to the dollar

The audit phase surfaces resource ownership gaps most teams have never quantified. By phase two, engineering and finance share a single cost model — not two competing spreadsheets.

The audit takes 1-2 weeks. The cost model it produces outlasts the engagement. Reach out to scope the first phase.
