FinOps tools show you the spend. The Context Graph shows you the cause. OpsCanvas finds waste your bill can't see and gives you the evidence to remove it with confidence.
Most organizations know waste exists. The blocker is not finding the resources. It is knowing which ones are safe to remove. That requires context the bill alone cannot provide.
A resource is not a zombie just because it has low CPU utilization. It might be a quarterly batch job. A disaster recovery standby. An environment owned by a team that departed six months ago. Standard FinOps tools see the same picture your bill does: a row with a dollar amount and a utilization metric.
What they cannot tell you is whether that resource has dependencies, who owns it, when it last deployed, whether it runs periodically, or what breaks if it disappears. So engineers look at the report, decide they cannot confidently remove anything, and move on. The waste stays.
The Context Graph changes what is possible. It carries ownership inference, dependency maps, historical usage patterns, and deployment records across your entire environment. OpsCanvas does not just find the list. It tells you which items on the list are safe.
A complete inventory of unused, orphaned, and over-provisioned resources with ownership attribution, savings estimates, and a confidence-tiered removal plan. Delivered in days. Priced at $15K to $25K.
Oscar builds or refreshes the Context Graph across your cloud accounts, correlating runtime behavior, IaC repositories, deployment history, and identity data. No tagging required. The graph discovers ownership and dependencies from what is actually running, not from what was documented.
The assessment then applies the Zombie Waste skill to identify unused, orphaned, and over-provisioned resources. Each resource is categorized not just by utilization but by purpose: is this idle by design or idle by neglect? The output is a ranked list with savings estimates, confidence scores, and owner attribution.
This is where most organizations stop. They have a list of 200 flagged resources and no way to determine which are genuinely safe. OpsCanvas solves this directly. Oscar groups resources into three confidence tiers:
Group A: High confidence, safe to remove. No dependencies, no owner activity, no pattern of periodic use. Group B: Verify with owner. Ownership inferred but should confirm before removing. Group C: Do not remove. Looks unused but is a quarterly job, DR standby, or has configuration dependencies.
Oscar Pro lets engineers go deeper on any resource. Query the context graph directly to understand a resource's full history, relationships, and purpose before making a decision.
Oscar can draft the removal actions, generate PRs for engineering review, and keep humans as the final approval gate throughout. The context graph makes the blast radius of every proposed removal visible before anything is touched in production.
For large cleanup initiatives, Platform Workflows provide AI-governed orchestration where agents execute the investigation and preparation work and humans approve every material decision. Decisions, context, and approvals are captured in an immutable audit trail.
Start with Oscar free to explore your environment before the assessment. The free tier gives every engineer natural language access to your cloud graph. Oscar Pro unlocks deeper investigation, saved context, and the full Zombie Waste workflow. Learn more about Oscar.
Standard FinOps tools see your bill. The Context Graph sees your environment. That difference is why OpsCanvas can close the gap between finding waste and acting on it.
The graph discovers relationships through runtime traffic, IaC repositories, and identity systems. Your tag compliance does not need to be perfect on day one. Discovery works from what is actually running.
DR standbys, quarterly batch jobs, and testing environments look idle but are not waste. The graph carries historical usage patterns going back months, not minutes, so it distinguishes purposeful silence from genuine abandonment.
A FinOps tool tells you a resource costs $400 a month. Oscar tells you which team owns it, when it was last deployed to, who to contact, and what it takes to safely decommission it. That is the difference between a report and a plan.
Every proposed removal shows the full dependency blast radius before anything is touched in production. Teams stop playing remove-and-see-what-breaks and start removing with evidence.
A new untagged resource with minimal attributes after 24 hours starts to show zombie indicators long before it becomes confirmed waste. Monitoring surfaces these leading signals early so the remediation cycle shrinks.
Right-sizing preferences like "always maintain 10% headroom" are captured in the context graph and applied across the whole team. Every engineer using Oscar works from the same institutional knowledge, not individual judgment.
The Zombie Waste Assessment is the right starting point for most organizations. The platform is built to expand as your cost optimization ambitions grow.
Full inventory of unused, orphaned, and over-provisioned resources. Confidence-tiered removal plan with ownership attribution and savings estimates. Delivered in days. $15K to $25K.
Continuous detection of new waste as it appears. Configurable alerting on cost spikes, new untagged resources, and orphaned infrastructure. Three tiers from quarterly scans to real-time alerts.
AI-governed orchestration for large cleanup initiatives. Agents handle investigation and preparation work; humans approve every material removal. Full audit trail. $25K to $50K ACV.
Context-aware right-sizing with governance preferences baked in. Team-wide rules like minimum headroom or workload tiers are captured once and applied consistently across every recommendation.
Identify tagging gaps, inconsistencies, and compliance drift across your estate. Surfaces the resources and teams driving the most attribution problems, with remediation guidance.
Per-agent and per-model cost attribution for AI workloads. Identifies repeated queries that could run on cheaper infrastructure, unbudgeted consumption, and spend that does not map to business value.
Most customers start with the Zombie Waste Assessment. The platform grows with you from there.
Three stages on the same graph. Each builds on the last. The gap that repeats earns the next step.
See what you have and what it costs. The Zombie Waste Assessment builds the context graph and delivers a prioritized waste report with ownership, savings estimates, and confidence-tiered removal guidance in days.
$15K to $25KWaste is not a one-time problem. New resources appear every day. Monitoring keeps the context graph current and surfaces new waste as it forms, including leading indicators before costs compound. Choose quarterly, monthly, or continuous.
$1.5K to $6K per monthFor large cleanup initiatives, Platform Workflows provide a coordinated, AI-governed remediation program. Agents handle evidence gathering, dependency verification, and PR preparation. Humans approve every material decision. The same graph, at scale.
