How Each Lever is Estimated

Per-lever benchmarks come from Refine customer engagements plus AWS Well-Architected Framework cost guidance. We disclose ranges so you can calibrate against your own reality.

  • Right-sizing (EC2 / RDS)

    4–13% of monthly spend

    Workload-aware downsizing of over-provisioned instances. EC2-heavy estimates higher; serverless-leaning estimates lower because Lambda is auto-scaling.

  • Storage class moves

    2–11% of monthly spend

    S3 Standard → IA / Glacier transitions on cold data, plus EBS gp2 → gp3 migrations. S3-heavy accounts can capture the high end of this range.

  • Idle / unused resources

    3–7% of monthly spend

    Detached EBS volumes, idle ELBs, unused Elastic IPs, untouched dev instances. Higher tag maturity unlocks higher detection rate because resources can be reliably attributed to teams.

  • Reserved Instance / Savings Plan coverage

    6–13% of monthly spend

    Right-sized commitment coverage across the fleet. Multi-account orgs see higher leverage because workload diversity smooths utilization risk.

  • Security risk reduction

    ~3% of monthly spend (conservative)

    Expected value of incidents avoided by closing critical IAM, storage, and network findings. Not a direct line item — expressed as a conservative percent of monthly spend.
