FAQ

Do you guarantee a certain percentage of savings?

No. The engagement identifies realistic savings opportunities and deletion risk, not a promised savings target.

Will production resources be deleted during the review?

No. Cleanup actions are documented and reviewed first. Implementation can be scoped separately.
