Control, Not Visibility Theater.

Most organizations can see spend but can’t change it. We build systems that turn cost into action: allocation, optimization playbooks, governance, and accountability—so savings stick on Day 2.

The Cost Failure Pattern

What most teams end up with:

  • No Ownership

    Spend is shared, so nobody fixes it. No service-level accountability.

  • Tagging Chaos

    Allocation is weak; chargeback fails; showback is political.

  • One-Time Cleanup

    Savings fade because governance and automation don’t exist.

The Coretus FinOps Standard

Production-grade cost control:

  • Allocation + Accountability

    Tagging strategy, owners, and unit costs per service/team/environment.

  • Optimization Playbooks

    Rightsizing, idle cleanup, commitments, and data-transfer cost controls.

  • Guardrails + Automation

    Budgets, policies, alerts, and automated remediation to keep savings persistent.

Less Waste. More Unit Economics.

/// Delivery Framework

The Path to Persistent Savings.

A phased model that prevents one-off cleanup: allocate, optimize, govern, then scale.

Phase 01

Spend Baseline + Allocation Plan

Map accounts/projects, tagging taxonomy, owners, budgets, and unit-cost targets.

Output: Allocation Blueprint
Phase 02

Quick Wins + Playbooks

Rightsize, cleanup idle, optimize storage + egress, and design commitment strategy.

Output: Savings Backlog
Phase 03

Guardrails + Automation

Budgets, alerts, policies, approvals, and remediation automation to keep savings persistent.

Output: Controls in Production
Phase 04

Unit Economics + Operating Cadence

Dashboards, KPIs, anomaly detection, and monthly business reviews that drive decisions.

Output: Predictable Spend

Frequently Asked
FinOps Specs.

Service Identity
Cloud Cost Optimization (FinOps)

How do we fix tagging and allocation?

We design a taxonomy, implement enforcement policies, and map ownership/budgets so allocation becomes reliable.

Can savings be automated?

Yes. We automate cleanup, rightsizing recommendations, and recurring optimization playbooks with approval gates.

How do we prevent savings regression?

Budgets, alerts, and policy-as-code guardrails stop waste patterns from reappearing.

What about egress and data-transfer costs?

We map traffic flows and optimize topology/CDN/NAT patterns to reduce hidden network spend.

Do you provide unit economics dashboards?

Yes. We build cost-per-metric KPIs that align spend to business outcomes—per service, team, or workflow.

FinOps Feasibility?

We can deliver a 48-hour cost baseline + savings opportunities audit for your top environments/services.
