Know what you spend.
Independent cost advisory · UK-based, working worldwide

You have been meaning to fix cloud costs for three years. Now AI runs on the same bill.

Nivaan produces one number across cloud, AI and software, with the evidence behind it, in four weeks. There is nothing to buy and no platform to integrate.

The finding we make most often
idle since the project ended
Usage spend. Moves, so someone watches it.
Reserved and provisioned. Flat, so nobody does.

Anything reserved or provisioned bills at full rate whether or not it is used. When the project it was bought for finishes, it keeps charging, and on a chart it draws a perfectly straight line. Spikes get investigated. Flat lines get ignored.

Two problems arriving on one bill

Cloud

A known problem, still unfixed

The methods are settled and widely published. It has not been done because it is nobody's day job and there is always something more urgent.

AI

A new problem, no playbook

The invoices arrived before the process did. One click can be twenty billable events, and prices fell by two thirds while total bills went up.

Who this is for

Not a sector. A situation. Organisations that can see where the savings are and cannot act on them — because the change needs an authority nobody has to hand, because the cheapest placement is not the lawful one, or because the people who could do the work are the people delivering everything else.

That situation is not confined to one industry or one country. We are based in the UK. Our clients are not necessarily.

Three reviews. Fixed scope, fixed fee.

Each ends with a figure in pounds, the evidence behind it, and a 90-day plan your own team can run.

Cloud Cost Baseline →

Full inventory of your cloud estate, allocation by team and product, and savings ranked by annual value against days of effort.

from £12,5004 weeks

AI Spend Review →

Every AI cost line across ten classes, from model tokens to document processing to idle GPU, attributed to a team, a product and a cost per unit of work.

from £12,0003 weeks

Software and Subscription Audit →

Every subscription including the ones nobody logged, licences paid against licences used, and a renewal calendar with dated actions.

from £7,5002 weeks

All three, sequenced

One number across the whole estate. This is what a board actually asks for.

from £27,5006 weeks

Scope and fee are set by the size of your estate. Smaller organisations pay less.

Six hours of your time

The reason this stays on the list is not cost. It is that it looks like a programme, and nobody has capacity for another programme.

6hours

Your organisation's total involvement across the review. Four conversations and one data request. Everything else happens off to the side and comes back finished.

What we need

  • Read access to billing and usage exports
  • One hour with your executive sponsor
  • One hour with finance
  • One hour with your platform or cloud lead
  • One hour with an engineer close to the workloads
  • Two weeks of application or usage logs

What we do not need

  • Production system access
  • Customer, member or personal data
  • Software to buy, install or integrate
  • An agent or collector in your estate
  • A procurement exercise
  • An internal project team or steering group

Independent means independent. Nivaan sells no cloud, no tooling, no licences and no managed services, and takes no commission from any vendor. What that means. A recommendation to keep doing exactly what you are doing is an outcome we are paid the same for.

Who is behind it

Twenty years of programme and portfolio delivery inside financial services and technology, in some of the most heavily constrained environments there are.
