30-day pilot · three phases

We earn write access.
You never grant it on faith.

Most optimization vendors ask for admin credentials on day one. Our pilot starts with zero write access and proves savings on your own telemetry — each phase earns the next.

The access ladder

The badge on each card is the literal scope of the credentials we hold in that phase.

READ-ONLY

Days 1–10 · Assessment

Connect read-only credentials. Ten analysis agents scan utilization, idle time, sizing, and orphaned resources against your live metrics.

You get: a quantified waste report — every finding backed by your own timestamps and utilization samples, ranked by monthly dollars.

Write credentials are rejected at intake. Mutations are blocked at the connector layer — not by policy, by code.

SHADOW

Days 10–20 · Shadow mode

The full decision loop runs — proposals, deduplication, all ten safety checks — but nothing executes. Every would-be action is logged at the exact moment it would have fired.

You get: a replay of your own ten days with our actions overlaid: "23 actions, est. $X saved, 2 blocked by your guardrails."

Watch decisions stream live in your dashboard before any of them are real.

SUPERVISED

Days 20–30 · Supervised actions

You enable two or three reversible, low-blast-radius action types — auto-suspend tuning, zombie termination. You approve each action individually.

You get: verified savings — each action's cluster cost before and after, from your own billing data, at list price.

These are measured numbers. Not projections.

Why the numbers hold up

Because our fee is 20% of verified savings, our incentive is to get the math right — and we adjust against ourselves when the data says so.

If your workload volume drops during a measurement window, the savings explained by reduced volume are removed from your bill automatically. If a vendor cuts prices mid-window, that delta isn't ours either. Every adjustment is itemized on the report next to your invoice.

Starting takes one credential

1 · Read-only credential

Our Terraform module creates the minimal monitoring role for Databricks. Five minutes, reviewable by your security team line by line.

2 · Nothing else

No workflow changes, no agents in your code, no SDK in your pipelines. We read metrics your platform already emits.

3 · A 30-minute readout

At each phase boundary we walk your team through the report and you decide whether the next phase happens. Stop any time; the credential is yours to revoke.
