FLOAT

Financially Intelligent Cloud

Stop reporting on Microsoft Azure spend. Start governing it.

FLOAT combines Azure-native FinOps and Well-Architected review into one continuous system — so cost decisions happen at the architecture level, not in a monthly spreadsheet meeting.

Free 1–2 week POC. No commitment. Typically surfaces 20–35% in realizable savings.

The default state

Most Azure organizations are flying on instruments they don't trust.

A part-time job, not a function

A part-time cloud admin manages costs in spreadsheets. No one is accountable for governance until there's a budget overrun.

Dashboards that don't drive action

Native tooling and reporting platforms surface findings that go unactioned for months. Reports go stale the moment they're exported.

AI spend with no model

AI initiatives — Copilot, Azure OpenAI, Azure ML — launch without cost modeling, creating unpredictable, runaway spend.

~30%+ waste, industry-wide

Industry estimates put average cloud waste above 30%. Most organizations discover it after the spend has already happened.

The FLOAT model

Prevention beats detection.

The traditional model reports on cost after it happens. FLOAT moves cost intelligence upstream, into architecture and governance decisions.

Traditional model

Infrastructure → Monitoring → Cost Management → Reports → Meetings → Cleanup

FLOAT model

Architecture Governance → Continuous Optimization → Financial Transparency → Business Alignment

Built for the whole room
