Pick a 30-minute slot. Assessment delivered in 24 hours.
Five deliverables. One business day. Zero cost.
Your environment, documented. We review your cluster architecture, analyze cost distribution, and establish a performance baseline. No assumptions. No guesswork. Data.
“Your Elasticsearch cluster is over-provisioned by 35%, costing $4.2K/month in unused capacity.”
We compare your current state against Elasticsearch best practices, industry benchmarks, and compliance requirements. Gaps become visible. Risks become quantified.
“Your SIEM implementation lacks audit trail logging — this blocks SOC2 certification within 16 weeks.”
Not a list of problems. A ranked action plan. Quick wins you can ship this month. Strategic initiatives for the quarter. Long-term optimizations for the roadmap. Each recommendation includes effort estimate and expected impact.
“Quick win: Enable shard allocation awareness. 2-day effort. 18% query performance gain.”
Numbers your finance team can use. We quantify cost savings, performance improvements, and risk mitigation value. This is the business case for implementation, built on your actual data.
“Projected 12-month savings: $120K (cost optimization) + $80K (avoided downtime) = $200K total ROI.”
A phase-by-phase implementation plan. Milestones, dependencies, resource requirements. Whether you implement with us or on your own, you have a clear path from assessment to production.
“Phase 1: Topology mapping. Phase 2: Migration prep. Phase 3: Cutover and validation.”
We do the heavy lifting. You get actionable insights.

The Challenge: Over-provisioned Elasticsearch cluster costing $14K/month. Search query latency averaging 800ms. SOC2 audit in 16 weeks with incomplete SIEM logging.
What the Assessment Found: Three quick wins identified in the first 24 hours: shard reallocation, index lifecycle management, and query optimization. Full 12-week implementation roadmap delivered within one business day.
| Metric | Before | After | Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly Cost | $14K/month | $8.4K/month | 40% reduction ($67K annual savings) |
| Query Latency | 800ms avg | 320ms avg | 60% improvement |
| SOC2 Compliance | Incomplete logging | Audit passed | Week 12 (on schedule) |
“We started with the free assessment. Within 24 hours, they’d identified $120K in annual savings we didn’t know existed. We engaged them for the full migration. Twelve weeks later, costs were down 40%, query performance was up 60%, and we passed our SOC2 audit on schedule.”— VP Engineering, TechCo
The assessment is yours to keep, regardless of next steps. Many companies implement our recommendations themselves using in-house teams. We provide the roadmap — you decide the timeline and execution approach.
No pressure. No obligation. No mandatory follow-up calls.

We offer it because it is the best way to demonstrate our expertise. If you find value and want to move forward, we are here. If not, you still have a comprehensive assessment at zero cost. We have delivered 60+ of these. This is how we work.
View our SLA commitmentOur assessments are written for engineers, architects, and platform teams. Not for executives who skim decks.
We include specific configuration recommendations, code examples, architecture diagrams, and effort estimates for every recommendation. Your engineering team can take our roadmap and execute it without our involvement.
