CloudCostIQ runs the weekly savings operation: detect waste, assign owners, follow up on blockers, prepare approval-ready Fix Plans, drive approved low-risk playbooks, verify savings, and brief leadership with proof.
Read-only billing evidence. Human approval required. No unsupervised production changes.
Start with a fixed 30-day operating contract. Qualified accounts can continue with operator coverage or add a 20%-30% verified-savings success fee after proof exists.
The pilot is intentionally constrained to low-risk categories where CloudCostIQ can produce visible work without asking for broad production control on day one.
CloudCostIQ prepares the agenda, spend movement, owner queue, blockers, and executive summary before the review so the team leaves with assigned work.
The service prepares Fix Plans, PR-ready artifacts, rollback notes, and evidence. Customer-approved owners retain control over production infrastructure changes.
Savings are separated into identified, assigned, implemented, awaiting verification, finance-approved, regressed, rejected, and blocked outcomes.
Three closed-loop categories, owner assignment or blocker declaration, day-30 proof packet, and continue/no-go decision.
Between-review queue ownership, approval-ready Fix Plans, escalation, verification, and finance packet support.
Outcome pricing for underwritten accounts with finance-approved retained savings and clear blocker ownership.
Managed review is available earlier. Outcome pricing requires evidence, owners, approvals, permissions, and enough addressable waste for CloudCostIQ to take responsibility.
The intake is not a demo request. It is a pre-contract scan that decides whether CloudCostIQ should start a 30-day pilot, offer operator coverage, underwrite outcome pricing, keep the account in platform-only inspection, or reject it.
Finance-approved verified savings of $18,400, $3,200 excluded for regression risk, $3,680 success fee, and customer approval required before Stripe handoff.
Guarantee score of 82/100, $42,000 qualified savings, excluded categories listed, 90-day measurement window, and blockers separated by customer vs CloudCostIQ ownership.
Quarterly packet comparing fees paid, savings identified, savings implemented, finance-approved savings, retained savings, and blockers caused by customer delay.
Bring your cloud provider, monthly spend range, finance approver, engineering owner path, and the questions leadership keeps asking. The call determines whether a fixed pilot, operator coverage, outcome pricing, platform-only inspection, or no-fit decision is the right starting point.
CloudCostIQ confirms cloud providers, spend range, stakeholder map, and what leadership needs answered first.
The first review separates spend movement, owner-ready savings, blockers, and verification gaps.
CloudCostIQ tracks ownerless work, overdue actions, Fix Plan blockers, and savings awaiting verification between reviews.
