Are your accelerators proprietary tools we will later have to buy from you?

No. They are methodological models built on open standards (FOCUS, the FinOps Framework), adapted to your environment and to your existing reporting tool. They are handed over documented, in a logic of capability transfer rather than dependence on our services.

Do we need to change business intelligence tool to benefit from your models?

No. The data model is designed independently of the reporting tool: it can be connected to your existing solution, whether a general-purpose dashboard tool or your Cloud provider's native console.

Are your consultants FinOps Foundation certified?

Yes, individually: our consultants, including our founder, hold several FinOps Foundation certifications covering practice, engineering, FOCUS analysis, training and AI value. These personal certifications guarantee a practice aligned with the latest standards, independently of any company accreditation.

How long before we have a first operational dashboard?

That depends on the quality and availability of your billing exports, not on development to be built from zero: the reporting model already exists and is adapted. The aim is for steering to start during the framing phase, not at the end of a development cycle separate from the engagement itself.

Tools and Accelerators

Governance work that opens with several weeks of dashboard development delays real steering by exactly that much. Our consultants deploy a methodology and reporting models proven on earlier engagements, adapted to your environment as soon as access is granted, so that steering starts when the engagement starts, not afterwards.

THE SITUATION

Time spent building the tool is time taken away from analysis

Day 1

Steering starts as soon as access to your Cloud environments is granted, not at the end of a development cycle. Engagement time saved on building a dashboard is time returned to analysis and governance.

3 phases

Inform, Optimise, Operate: the official structure of the FinOps Foundation Framework organises our deliverables and reporting models, rather than a proprietary nomenclature to be relearned on every engagement.

FOCUS

Our data models align natively with the FOCUS standard (FinOps Open Cost and Usage Specification, version 1.4), the FinOps Foundation open standard for Cloud billing data. A non-compliant model is rebuilt every time a provider changes, a FOCUS model survives that change.

An accelerator only has value if it holds over time: designed to be taken over by your teams, documented, and built on open standards rather than on a proprietary format that would make you dependent on us to make it evolve. This follows the same logic as our capability transfer stance: we do not deliver a closed tool, we deliver a capability.

SCOPE

What our accelerators cover

FinOps reporting models

Our Cloud cost steering dashboards are an asset developed and maintained personally by our founder over several years of engagements, they are not built from zero on each mandate. Cost trend, cumulative cost, allocation by application, environment and service: the data structure is FOCUS-compliant and adapts to your existing reporting tool (Power BI, the provider's native dashboard, or another). We sell no software licence, the model is portable.

Drift detection methods

Control grids and detection scripts for billing anomalies, orphaned resources and gaps between committed spend and actual consumption. The aim: surface drift before it accumulates over several billing cycles, rather than discovering it during an annual audit.

Governance and RACI models

Standard responsibility matrices (Finance, Procurement, Architecture, Operations, Data/AI, Security) and reusable target operating models to structure FinOps or GreenOps governance quickly, adapted to your organisation rather than imposed as they stand.

Training and awareness kits

Awareness material and upskilling paths aligned with the official FinOps Foundation content, available in French and English. The aim: accelerate ownership by Finance, Procurement and IT teams, without depending on our continued presence to sustain it.

GreenOps calculation models

Consumption and emissions calculation models built from Cloud billing exports, aligned with the principles set out in our GreenOps expertise pages (carbon intensity, PUE, WUE, dual-method Scope 2). The same portability logic: the calculation model remains usable beyond the engagement.

Individual certifications held by our consultants

Our consultants hold individual FinOps Foundation certifications (Certified Professional, Practitioner, Engineer, FOCUS Analyst, Instructor, AI Value) and Cloud certifications (Azure, GreenOps, sustainability), obtained and maintained personally. These certifications guarantee a practice aligned with the most recent standards of the FinOps Framework, independently of the structure carrying the engagement.

METHODOLOGY

How an accelerator enters your environment

01
Frame the available scope
Inventory of access rights, billing exports and reporting tools already in place on your side. An accelerator poorly calibrated to your environment delays the engagement more than it accelerates it, this step avoids deploying an unsuitable model.
02
Adapt, do not impose
Configuration of the reporting model or detection grid against your account nomenclature, your cost centres and your internal conventions. An accelerator remains a methodological starting point, never a solution delivered as it stands.
03
Activate steering
Commissioning of the dashboard or detection method, with a first guided reading for your teams. Steering begins at this stage, not at the end of the engagement.
04
Transfer the capability
Documentation of the model, training of internal teams in reading and evolving it, handover of the calculation keys. In line with our stance, the aim is not to make you dependent on a tool only we could evolve.

WHAT WE DO NOT DO

What we do not do

01: We sell neither software licence nor subscription: an accelerator is a methodological model, not a closed proprietary product.
02: We do not deliver a tool your teams could not evolve on their own once we have left.
03: We do not deploy a standard model without first testing it against your real environment.
04: We do not present our accelerators as a substitute for governance: they are tools in the service of governance, not the reverse.
