An infrastructure audit you can act on, delivered in five business days

We review what you have in place, where the gaps are and what to do about them: tools, processes, people, automation and cost. You get clear, prioritised actions and a roadmap you can use on your own or with our support.

When an audit makes sense

  • Before budget planning, when you need to know what infrastructure should cost.
  • After a jump in the cloud bill that nobody can fully explain.
  • Before scaling, a migration or a major release.
  • When a new CTO or Head of Engineering wants an outside view.

What the audit covers

Tools
How well your current tools do their job, and better alternatives where they fall short.
Processes
Your delivery and operations workflows, where they lose time, and what to change.
Cost-saving opportunities
Underused resources and overspend you can remove without hurting performance.
Specialists
The skills your team has and lacks, with training or hiring recommendations where needed.
Automation
Manual work that should be automated, ranked by effort and payoff.
Performance and reliability
Bottlenecks and stability risks, with the actions that would remove them.

How the audit runs

  1. Intro call

    You tell us about the platform, the team and what worries you most.

  2. Access and tools

    You give us access to the systems and tools we need, or we install our own. The five business days start here.

  3. Review

    We go through your systems, resources and processes to understand their current state.

  4. Findings

    We explain what needs improvement and why it matters, in plain terms.

  5. Roadmap

    A prioritised list of actions with expected impact, delivered within five business days of access.

Questions buyers ask us

  • The full audit is a paid service. If you go on to implement all or part of the recommendations with us, the audit is free. It is delivered within five business days, counted from when we have the access and tools we need, and the roadmap is yours to use whether or not you continue with us.

  • A written report of findings and a prioritised roadmap covering tooling, processes, specialists, automation, performance and cost-saving opportunities.

  • No. The roadmap is written so your own team can carry it out. If you want help implementing it, we can do that too, and in that case the audit is free.
