The ranges come from real environments we audited. It sizes the conversation; it does not close a contract.

Four questions. The maths uses the ranges we find in real environments — an order-of-magnitude estimate, not a quote.

We send the guide with the four levers in the right order, the monthly cycle that holds the bill, and the cost chapter for SAP environments.

Educational estimate. Real numbers depend on architecture, contract and usage profile.

A FinOps assessment measures what this estimate approximates — and returns the order of attack with gain per front.
