No references slide. Here is the method.

1. The free diagnostic (1 hour, then a written report)

One call. We walk your stack with you and write down findings you can act on without us: what breaks first, what it would cost to fix, what to leave alone. You keep the report even if you never talk to us again.

2. What we actually look at

• CI/CD: Can any engineer ship to prod today, alone? How long until it runs?
• Environments: Drift between staging and prod. Tickets that only one person can fix.
• Backups & recovery: When did you last restore? Not test: restore.
• Secrets: Where do they live, who can rotate them, what happens if they leak.
• Monitoring & alerts: Who is awake at 3am? Does the system even page anyone?
• Cloud costs: Who owns the bill? What grew last month and why?
• AI in the pipeline: Which changes were AI-generated, which were reviewed, which one runs prod right now without a human that ever saw it?

3. What 1-25 person startups usually find

• -No real staging environment: prod is the test setup
• -Secrets in .env files committed to the repo
• -CI that is green while deploys are manual, done by the founder
• -Alerts that go to a channel nobody reads
• -Cloud bill growing every month with no owner
• -AI-generated Terraform merged without review, because it worked

Every one of these is survivable until it is not. The pattern: a team of smart engineers, moving fast with AI, and nobody whose job is the layer underneath.

4. What you buy, in one sentence

One senior engineer, a few focused hours a week, directing and reviewing AI that does the execution: pipelines, infrastructure, monitoring, runbooks. You get the output of a full DevOps function at a fraction of a hire, with a human name on every change.
