THE FINDINGS ENGINE

How a finding earns
its place on the list.

Severity, confidence, evidence — and totals you can trust. We don’t inflate savings; we provide engineering-grade truth.

The Finding Anatomy

Structured, actionable data

A specific resource (or scope) with an estimated monthly saving at your net price, a recommended action, and the evidence behind it.

Severity Scoring

Impact vs Ease & Risk

Weighs financial impact against ease and risk of the change. High = large saving, low risk. Lower severity items are prioritized lower to reduce backlog noise.

Confidence Matrix

Evidence-backed analysis

Reflects how much evidence backs the call — e.g., sustained low CPU over a multi-week window. If data is sparse, confidence drops, preventing false alarms.

Audit Verification

Evidence & formula level detail

Each finding carries its data source, the window, the formula, and assumptions — so engineers can verify, not just trust. Full technical transparency.

Operational Review

Honest €0 Hygiene Candidates

Some items (orphaned configs, hygiene issues) carry no direct saving. We flag them separately as €0 candidates and keep them out of savings totals so nothing is inflated.
