Findings, written out.
Every piece here is one finding from a real audit: the number, where it came from, and what it cost. No predictions, no maturity models.
From the audit · FinOps The $91,576 question: Full-Stack hosts with nothing monitored on them 140 hosts were consuming Full-Stack licence on one tenant with no monitored service behind any of them. Nobody decided that. A rollout did, and no report since was shaped to show it. From the audit · Grail The Grail bucket nobody chose: 462 days of retention A default metrics bucket was holding 462 days of data on a tenant where nothing needed more than 90. Between $22,455 and $86,115 a year, depending on which contractual rate applied. From the audit · Alerting 1,617 maintenance windows: how alerting goes quiet without anyone deciding Suppression accumulates one legitimate decision at a time. On one tenant it reached 1,617 permanent or expired windows, plus 106 entity-level overrides with detection switched off. From the audit · Pipelines Personal data in logs: 50 sources, about 30.7 million records a day Not a breach. An exposure — email addresses arriving in cleartext into a queryable store, at a rate nobody had measured, with no masking rule in front of them. From the audit · FinOps What actually lands on a DPS invoice Dynatrace Platform Subscription prices consumption, and consumption is produced by configuration. Here is the path from a setting nobody remembers to a line you are asked to approve.
