Cloud cost audit icon

Cloud Cost Audit

Find the 30+% your cloud spend can recover.

Companies running on AWS, GCP, or Azure typically have 20–40% of cloud spend recoverable through configuration adjustments, resource right-sizing, storage optimization, and architecture calibrated to current scale. We find it, document it, and prioritize action by ROI.

Scalability review icon

Scalability Review

Will your system survive the next 10× of growth?

For companies about to scale customer volume 5–10× through funding, a launch, or expansion. We assess architecture, operational processes, and engineering capacity against projected load — and surface where reinforcement is needed before scale hits.

Evidence over opinion.

Evidence-based findings

Every score carries a written rationale linked to specific evidence — observations, tools, and artifacts. No opinion without proof.

AI-assisted, human-validated

AI accelerates the analysis. Senior auditors validate every finding and assign all final scores. Client-sensitive data stays out of public AI tools.

Calibrated scoring rubric

A 0–5 institutional scale with a critical-override rule keeps results consistent and comparable across engagements.

Executive-grade output

Board-ready documents with a C-suite-clear narrative that ties technology directly to revenue, risk, and runway.

Common questions.

What does a TDX Advisory engagement look like?

It starts with a 30-minute diagnostic call to confirm fit. From there it runs as a fixed-scope audit or an ongoing advisory cadence, ending in a board-ready executive presentation and a prioritized roadmap.

What level of access do you need to our systems?

Access is read-only wherever possible — source repositories, CI/CD, cloud console, monitoring, and recent cost reports. An access log records every touchpoint for full traceability.

Do you sign NDAs?

Yes. A signed NDA is in place before any access to technical materials. Data is held in encrypted storage and retained only for the agreed period.

How do you keep the assessment independent?

Auditors have no prior involvement in building or operating the system under review. Every finding is evidence-backed, and scores pass mandatory peer review before delivery.

How is AI used in your analysis?

AI accelerates analysis — pattern detection, summarization, anomaly spotting — under strict governance. Senior auditors validate every finding and assign all final scores, and client-sensitive data never enters public AI tools.

What happens after the audit?

You receive an executive presentation and a 90-day roadmap. You can act on it internally, with a third party, or retain TDX for ongoing strategic oversight — the choice is yours.

How an engagement runs.

01

Diagnostic Call (30 min, free)

A short call to map your context, the technology decision you are facing, and whether an audit is the right next step.

02

Audit Engagement (~3–4 weeks, fixed scope)

Evidence-based assessment against a calibrated rubric. AI-accelerated analysis, senior validation, written findings for every score.

03

Executive Presentation

Board-ready document. C-suite-clear narrative. 0-100 score. 90-day roadmap.

04

Optional ongoing strategic advisory

Retain access to a senior CTO voice on architecture decisions, hiring, and roadmap reviews.

Strategic clarity for scaling CEOs.
