Enter your cloud bill, a hardware quote, and a colo quote — walk away with the break-even month, 36-month totals, and a 47-point audit that becomes a 90-day plan.

What's inside

The TCO calculator (XLSX, 566 live formulas)

Enter your monthly cloud/API spend, a hardware quote, and a colo quote. The model computes the break-even month, 36-month cumulative totals for cloud vs. owned vs. managed, and a plain-language verdict — recalculated live as you change assumptions.

The 47-point audit (DOCX)

Six phases from inventory to decision: workload census, spend attribution, security screen (including an OWASP LLM Top-10 pass), vendor-exposure review, and the checklist that turns findings into a 90-day plan.

Who it's for

Engineering leaders, platform teams, and finance partners staring at an AI bill that grew into a second cloud bill — and being asked "should we buy GPUs?" without a defensible model to answer with.

How it works
  1. Drop your last three months of AI spend into the blue input cells.
  2. Paste one real hardware quote and one colo quote — list prices are fine to start.
  3. Read the verdict tab: break-even month, crossover chart, and which questions the audit says to ask next.
Questions

Do I need special software?

Any spreadsheet app that opens .xlsx with formulas — Microsoft Excel and LibreOffice are both verified. The audit is a standard .docx.

Is this a subscription?

No. One purchase, instant download, yours to keep and reuse across scenarios.

Whose numbers does it use?

Yours. Nothing is pre-baked — every output traces to an input cell you control, so the result survives scrutiny from finance.
