From finding to saving
Analyses look at each resource's usage and configuration and propose concrete actions, each with an estimated monthly saving and a confidence score.

Lifecycle
- Active
- Current opportunities. Re-running the analysis updates them instead of creating duplicates, and an active recommendation that no longer applies disappears.
- Dismissed
- Dismiss the ones that do not apply from the resource's Findings tab. Dismissed recommendations are kept as your history and not recreated.
- Applied
- Applied recommendations are kept too, and the savings you realised are reported month by month.
Two kinds of finding
- Savings
- Ways to cut a resource's cost, with an estimated monthly saving.
- Operational
- Reliability, security and compliance issues with no direct saving attached. They feed the Compliance score.
Where to find them
- Dashboard
- Where to act first: the biggest savings and the most important compliance findings.
- Audit
- Per area, with savings per resource.
- Outside the app
- The Telegram /recs command and the MCP server list the top recommendations too.
Acting on a recommendation
- Where
- Open a resource, from an Audit page or the dashboard, and go to its Findings tab. The Savings and Operational cards list its active recommendations, each with a title, a description and a confidence score. Savings ones also show the estimated monthly saving.
- Confidence
- The colour follows the confidence: red from 80%, amber from 50%, blue below that. The higher it is, the surer the analysis is that the recommendation applies.
- Do it yourself
- The app never changes your cloud. Make the change where you manage it (the cloud console, Terraform, a script) and then come back.
- Mark as applied
- On a savings recommendation, press the check and confirm. We verify it on the next inventory sync, which runs hourly; if the resource already shows the change, the saving is recorded straight away. Operational findings can only be dismissed.
- Detected automatically
- You do not have to press it: when the recommended change shows up in your inventory (for example the resource is gone) the saving is recorded anyway.
- Dismiss
- The cross on a card dismisses that recommendation; Dismiss all on the Savings card dismisses all of the resource's savings ones. Dismissed ones are kept as history and not recreated.
Seeing what you saved
- Realized Savings
- In the sidebar. It lists the optimizations that were carried out and the monthly saving each generated, with the total Saved to date and a yearly projection (monthly savings x 12).
