Where $900k Comes Out
High priorityRun the overnight batch on spot capacity
Six hours a night of batch work sits on on-demand compute. Nothing in it is needed before 07:00, and every job already restarts cleanly.
Saving: $410k a yearEffort: 4 weeksOwner: Platform
High priorityTake committed-use coverage from 68% to 85%
Compute usage has not dropped below the 85% line in fourteen months. Everything above the commitment is bought at list price, every hour.
Saving: $290k a yearEffort: 2 weeksOwner: Finance and platform
Medium priorityTier storage nobody has read in a year
41% of object storage has not been touched in twelve months and still sits on the fastest tier we pay for.
Saving: $200k a yearEffort: 6 weeksOwner: Data platform
Do all three and FY27 lands at $3.14M while carrying 19% more traffic. Do none and the run rate crosses $4.6M by December.
