How long is a typical engagement?

Full retainer runs in quarterly increments, renewable. Single-practice engagements are six to twelve weeks fixed scope. Most customers start with one practice and scale to the full retainer once results land.

What does the team shape look like?

Full retainer pod is six engineers across the four practices: senior FinOps engineer, two senior platform engineers, observability specialist, release engineer, AK Way practice owner.

Do we need to already be on AWS?

Yes. AK Way Managed is AWS-native. If you are not on AWS yet, run a Migration engagement first; we then take over operational ownership.

How does pricing work?

Quarterly retainer fee for the full pod, fixed sprint fee for single-practice engagements. AWS bill optimization typically pays back the retainer within the first quarter.

What does success look like?

Median outcomes per quarter: AWS bill down 10 to 20 percent, MTTR halved, change failure rate down to single-digit, four practices live with named owners.
