Companies that manage cloud costs well cut them by as much as 20–30% (McKinsey, 2023). On a $25,000-a-month AWS bill, that is $5,000–$7,500 a month back in the budget Example
Why not hire? A FinOps specialist costs about $155K a year in salary and benefits (estimate). The assessment gives you a specialist's review of your AWS cost once, for a fixed fee and without adding headcount.

FinOps Assessment questions.
What does the FinOps Assessment include?
It includes a 30-minute setup call, 30 days of your AWS cost and usage data, an assessment report that prices each saving, and a readout presentation for your leadership team.
How long does it take?
About six weeks from the setup call: Sherpa collects 30 days of data, then our team prepares the report and delivers the readout.
What does it cost?
The assessment carries one fixed fee, set by your average monthly AWS spend: $2,500 for $5K–$25K, $5,000 for $25K–$100K, $10,000 for $100K–$250K, and custom above $250K.
What do we need to do?
Your team joins a 30-minute call and deploys one CloudFormation template in the AWS management account. It creates one role, which Sherpa uses to set up the data connections it needs in your accounts.
Does it include the Sherpa platform?
No. The assessment delivers a report and an executive readout, without platform access. Sherpa is an AI platform for AWS, and you can sign up for it separately.
Does Sherpa change anything in our AWS account?
Not your workloads. The report sets out each recommended change and how to make it, and your team decides what to apply and when.
