The problem it solves

Cloud storage and IP addresses that nobody remembers to clean up quietly add cost to your AWS bill every month. Auditing every region and resource type by hand takes time nobody on your team has to spare.

Who it fits

An IT or finance leader responsible for cloud costs at a company running AWS infrastructure.

How it works

  1. Scans your AWS regions on a schedule
  2. Identifies unused storage, old backups, and unused addresses
  3. Calculates the monthly cost and checks compliance tags on each
  4. Sends a report to Slack and email, and logs it to a spreadsheet
What you get

Wasted AWS spend flagged for you

You get a report showing unused AWS storage and addresses, with the potential savings sent to Slack, email, and a spreadsheet.

What you get

A cost and compliance report showing exactly which AWS resources are wasting money.

What you need

An AWS account, Slack, Gmail, and Google Sheets.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
