Ways to work with Mission FinOps

Investigations and Assessments

AWS Cost Investigation and Technical Assessment

You have an AWS cost or usage problem nobody has answered properly. Mission FinOps investigates the problem using AWS billing data, technical context, ownership clues, and evidence from your environment.

Investigations can cover a defined AWS cost or usage problem, the technical context behind it, ownership and evidence gaps, and recommended architecture or operational changes.

What you get:

• Written AWS Cost Investigation Report
• Finding, supporting evidence, contradicting evidence
• Likely owner of the change
• Missing evidence that limits the finding
• Recommended next action
• Walkthrough with your team

Good for:

• Cost movement that needs explaining before a finance review
• Data transfer or networking charges that changed unexpectedly
• Commitment coverage that looks healthy but spend keeps rising
• Linked accounts with costs but no clear owner
• Pre-commitment analysis before Savings Plan or RI purchases
• Technical assessment before a FinOps program or tooling decision
• Network and data-transfer cost analysis
• Security-related cost and usage signals
• Architecture and resiliency cost assessment

Shift-Left FinOps

Shift-Left FinOps

Bring cost into the decisions that create spend—before those decisions become monthly charges.

What this can include:

• Cost reviews during architecture design
• Cost context in CI/CD and infrastructure workflows
• Engineering ownership and service-level accountability
• Architecture guardrails
• Unit economics and workload cost signals
• Commitment and scaling decisions informed by technical context

Scope determined after fit conversation. May be standalone or combined with investigation or data engineering work.

FinOps Architecture and Advisory

FinOps Architecture and Advisory

Some organizations need more than a one-time engagement. Advisory support provides ongoing AWS and FinOps architecture leadership.

What this can include:

• Fractional FinOps architect or embedded support
• Cross-functional leadership between finance and engineering
• Executive cost reviews
• FinOps capability development
• Tool and vendor strategy
• Commitment, architecture, and governance decisions
• AWS architecture, networking, and security decisions with material cost impact
• Complex investigations as they arise

Scope determined after fit conversation.
