A Well-Architected review that ends in a roadmap you ship.

Well-Architected Reviews start from $495. The final fixed price depends on the workload size, the complexity of the architecture, and how many environments are in scope. We confirm the scope and the price during the free intro call before any paid work starts. No commitment required. See how assessment pricing works.

Yes, we require temporary read-only access to perform the review. We provide a CloudFormation template that creates a time-limited IAM role with only the permissions needed for the assessment. All activity is logged in your CloudTrail, and access is removed as soon as the review concludes.

AWS Solutions Architects can run the official questionnaire-based review under Enterprise Support, and that is a useful starting point. Where our review is different: we inspect the actual resource configuration rather than relying on self-reported answers, deliver console steps and IaC snippets for each finding, and sequence the remediation into a phased roadmap your team can execute. The AWS review surfaces gaps; ours turns them into shipped work.

The AWS Well-Architected Tool is a self-service questionnaire that relies on your team's own answers. Our review goes deeper: we analyze your actual resource configurations, IAM policies, networking setup, and operational practices. We validate findings against real-world best practices, remove false positives, and deliver prioritized recommendations with implementation guidance your team can act on immediately.

A typical Well-Architected Framework Review takes 1-2 weeks depending on the size and complexity of your environment. This includes the initial discovery call, the deep-dive analysis across all six pillars, and the delivery of the comprehensive report with a findings walkthrough session.

• Pillar-by-Pillar Findings: Detailed analysis of your workloads against Operational Excellence, Security, Reliability, Performance Efficiency, Cost Optimization, and Sustainability.
• Risk Prioritization: Findings ranked by business impact and severity so you know exactly where to focus first.
• Remediation Roadmap: A phased improvement plan with step-by-step instructions, IaC snippets, and AWS Console guidance for each finding.

We review all six pillars of the AWS Well-Architected Framework: Operational Excellence, Security, Reliability, Performance Efficiency, Cost Optimization, and Sustainability. Each pillar is assessed individually with findings and recommendations specific to your workloads and business context.

Both. A single-workload review is the most common starting point because it keeps the engagement tight and actionable. If you have multiple workloads, we scope them individually so each gets the right depth, then stagger delivery so your team is not absorbing every report at once. We discuss scope on the free intro call.

Yes. The report is yours to use. Clients commonly share it during SOC 2 audits, with enterprise customers asking for architecture documentation, and with investors during due diligence. Each finding references the relevant Well-Architected pillar and, where applicable, the underlying compliance control so the evidence is recognizable to any auditor.

We deliver the report and walk you through the findings in a dedicated session. From there, you choose your path: implement the improvements yourself using our detailed guides and IaC snippets, or engage us to handle the remediation. We also offer follow-up reviews to validate improvements and track progress against the roadmap.
