Spend less on
cloud. Get more
from it.
Hyperscaler-agnostic advisory for technology executives and CFOs. We shape the investment, rationalise the architecture, and install the governance that turns cloud into compounding enterprise value.
Global cloud waste this session
§ 01 — The math
A dollar in the cloud
is not a dollar
at work.
The median estate we audit shows 38¢ of every cloud dollar producing no measurable business outcome. The breakdown below is not an outlier. It is the starting condition.
§ 02 — Four briefs
Pick a track.
Each one is a
complete engagement.
Most clients start with one brief and add the others once the pattern is proven. They compose cleanly — same delivery model, same governance, one accountable partner.
Headline
6 weeks to a board paper
Workload cohorting, TCO modelling, and a migration roadmap tied to business outcomes — not vendor roadmaps.
— Exit criteria your CFO can audit. A landing-zone blueprint ready on week one.
Open the briefHeadline
Designed for the enterprise buyer
Tenancy models, data isolation, service mesh, and performance SLAs designed for the buyer who reads your architecture diagram before they sign.
— Pool / silo / bridge tenancy. Per-tenant KMS. Noisy-neighbour defence. API-first, usage-metered.
Open the briefHeadline
Baked into account one
Identity federation, posture management, and compliance accelerators across AWS, Azure, and GCP — mapped to every framework your buyer names.
— Zero-trust across identity, device, network, application, and data. One control library, every framework.
Open the briefHeadline
Cut the bill. Keep the velocity.
Rightsizing, reservation strategy, and a cost-governance model that gives engineering the guardrails it wants and finance the forecast it's been asking for.
— Six levers, pulled in the right order. Rituals that make the savings permanent.
Open the brief§ 03 — The method
Five phases.
One dependency map.
Phases overlap on purpose. Identity work from the diagnostic carries into every later stage. The FinOps rhythm begins before the first migration wave cuts over. This is how the work stays coherent.

§ 04 — Independence
No resale.
No quota.
No conflict.
Certified across every major provider. Commercial relationship with none of them. Recommendations governed by outcome criteria — not a vendor's next-quarter target.

§ 06 — From the practice
Three beliefs we
keep coming back to.
01 / 03
On speed
Six weeks to a board paper. We don't sell six months of discovery because nobody ever needed six months of discovery.
— Practice Lead, Claritas One
02 / 03
On lock-in
Every recommendation carries an exit plan. If we can't tell you how to leave the architecture, we haven't finished designing it.
— Principal Architect, Claritas One
03 / 03
On cost
Cost is a product feature. Once a product team sees the price of a feature they're shipping, the roadmap changes by itself.
— FinOps Lead, Claritas One
§ 07 — Open a brief
We'll audit your
cloud estate in
two weeks.
Complimentary. No EDP attached. You'll walk out with a prioritised savings roadmap, a projected-savings model your CFO can defend, and a recommendation on which brief to open next.
