How Rolling Maturity Works

Four phases transform minimal seed RIs into a fully optimized, flexible commitment portfolio.

1

Seed

We purchase minimal No Upfront Convertible RIs: tiny seed instances that carry almost no cost. Each month creates a new cohort, building toward maturity without upfront capital.

2

Mature

Seed cohorts age for 12 or 36 months. As each cohort nears expiration, we analyze your actual compute patterns, giving us precise intelligence before any commitment.

3

Convert

Within 72 hours of expiration, we exchange seeds into exactly the right instance families and sizes. AWS charges no fee for Convertible RI exchanges, so value carries forward across families and regions.

4

Expire & Reset

Converted RIs expire naturally. The next cohort rolls in. You maintain 95% flexibility at steady state: every commitment expires on a rolling monthly basis, automatically.

5

Optimize Continuously

GAP Mode lets us activate savings early for stable, growing workloads. Proactive seed exchanges track compute family drift, so your portfolio keeps mirroring reality.

6

You Pay on Results

Performance-based pricing means we earn only on realized savings. No retainer, no upfront fees, no long-term contract lock-in.

Built for Real AWS Workloads

Every feature engineered to maximize savings while protecting operational flexibility.

No Upfront Capital

Seed RIs cost $3–10/month per region. No All Upfront commitment, no Partial Upfront. Your balance sheet stays clean while savings accumulate.

Regional Independence

Dedicated facilitation accounts per region. Isolated blast radius, clean cost attribution, and M&A-ready architecture from day one.

Unlimited Exchanges

AWS allows unlimited free Convertible RI exchanges. We use that fully, changing instance families, OS types, and sizes as your workload evolves.

Tag-Based Automation

Every RI is tagged with cohort ID, mode, coverage target, and status. Fully automatable. Auditable. Idempotent operations safe to retry without double-commitment.

Multi-Organization Support

Pre-matured facilitation accounts can transfer between AWS Organizations in hours. Acquired companies benefit from mature optimization frameworks immediately.

Two Risk Modes

Maturity Mode converts only at expiration (1-month risk window). GAP Mode activates early for stable workloads. You control the risk posture per cohort.
