Protocol A1: Strategic Review

Capital Recovery Audit™
Architectural Efficiency.

We target a 25% reduction in operational and development costs. We don't run generic scripts; we map your Business Intent against your Technical Reality to find where complexity is destroying value.

The Trade-Off Reality

Every architecture is a set of trade-offs. The problem arises when a trade-off made 3 years ago (for speed) is now burning capital (at scale). We don't just look for 'bugs'; we look for misalignment. We identify where your system is over-engineered for the value it delivers.

The Three Dimensions of Waste

Leakage isn't just a high AWS bill. It is the friction that prevents you from shipping features.

1. Financial Misalignment

Are you paying for 'Enterprise Grade' availability on a feature nobody uses? We analyze the Cost-to-Value ratio of every service.

Key Analysis Points
Resource Over-provisioning
Zombie Microservices
Storage Tiering Gaps
License Utilization

2. Logic & Data Gaps

Automated tools find missing patches. We find logic flaws. Who has access to production? Why? Where does PII actually live vs. where you think it lives?

Key Analysis Points
Role-Based Access (RBAC) Drift
Data Sovereignty Checks
API Auth Logic
Third-Party Vendor Risk

3. Development Friction

If it takes 4 hours to deploy a hotfix, that is a cost. We identify the 'Glue Code' and manual processes that are slowing down your team.

Key Analysis Points
CI/CD Bottlenecks
Fragile Test Suites
Documentation Gaps
Knowledge Silos

The Engagement Protocol

Real optimization requires context. We do not touch your data or scan your network until we understand your business goals.

01Discovery & Pain Points

The Entry Gate. We meet to define the bleeding. Is it the cloud bill? Is it slow deployments? Is it a specific bug? We set the scope and sign NDAs.

02Architectural Walkthrough

No scripts. We sit with your lead engineers. We review diagrams, code patterns, and infrastructure maps. We understand *why* the system was built this way.

03Gap Analysis

We compare your *Current State* vs. *Optimal State*. We calculate the cost of the gap (e.g., 'Refactoring this module will save €2k/month').

04The Recovery Plan

A prioritized roadmap. We categorize fixes into 'Quick Wins' (Immediate ROI) and 'Strategic Refactors' (Long-term Stability).

Target: 25% Efficiency Gain

The first step isn't a commitment to a massive overhaul. It's a conversation to see if the math makes sense.
