Cloud Cost Optimization & FinOps
AI agents that continuously right-size, reserve, and govern your cloud spend — AWS, Azure, GCP — with executive-ready unit economics powered by a cost context graph.
"Your cloud bill grew 40% last year but nobody can explain which product, team, or feature drove it. FinOps spreadsheets are three weeks stale by the time the CFO sees them. Vouchstone builds a cost context graph that maps every dollar to a business outcome."
What you are actually dealing with
- Cloud spend growing 30–50% annually with no clear attribution to business outcomes
- Engineering over-provisions "just in case" — 60% of compute is idle or underutilized
- Reserved instance and savings plan coverage is under 40% because nobody tracks commitments
- Tagging is inconsistent — cost allocation reports are unreliable
- FinOps team is 2 people tracking $20M+ spend in spreadsheets
How we ship it
- Cost context graph: maps every resource to team, product, feature, and business outcome — not just tags
- AI agents continuously scan utilization, recommend right-sizing, and auto-execute approved changes
- Automated commitment management: RI/SP coverage optimized weekly with approval gates
- Tag enforcement agents: detect untagged resources, auto-tag from deployment metadata, block non-compliant launches
- Unit economics dashboards: cost-per-customer, cost-per-transaction, cost-per-feature — not just cost-per-service
- Anomaly detection agents alert on spend spikes within hours, not at month-end
What we owe you when we miss
Most SI contracts only penalise you for falling behind on payment. Our Reverse SLA flips that - when we miss a named milestone, parity threshold, or budget band, we owe you in credits or refund.
Savings
Named savings target (typically 25–40%) — shortfall refunds proportionally
Visibility
Unit economics dashboard live within 4 weeks or engagement fee refunded
Accuracy
95%+ cost attribution accuracy — every dollar mapped to team, product, or feature
Cost Context Graph + FinOps Operating Model
Cost context graph mapping resources to business outcomes, cloud cost baseline, optimization actions taken with before/after proof, unit economics dashboard, commitment coverage report, and a governance framework for ongoing cost control.
