Stage 01 / 10●Maturity: FOUNDATION
Observe
Read connected accounts and record the source behind every signal.
- Starts with
- Cloud inventory, metrics, billing, and change history through read-only access.
- Produces
- Normalized facts with a resource, timestamp, and source.
Stage 02 / 10●Maturity: FOUNDATION
Understand
Connect each resource to its client, environment, and dependencies.
- Starts with
- The facts collected from connected accounts.
- Produces
- An evidence-backed resource graph with operational context.
Stage 03 / 10●Maturity: FOUNDATION
Detect
Look for changes against a baseline that reflects the resource’s normal behavior.
- Starts with
- Metrics and costs, interpreted by time, environment, and comparable resources.
- Produces
- Anomalies with an onset, persistence, supporting evidence, and any coverage gaps.
Stage 04 / 10◐Maturity: BUILDING
Explain
Weigh possible explanations, keeping conflicting evidence in view.
- Starts with
- An anomaly, its related resources, and the changes around its onset.
- Produces
- Candidate explanations described by their evidence. When no cause can be identified, the assessment says so.
Stage 05 / 10◐Maturity: BUILDING
Investigate
Bring the evidence into one investigation with a history your team can revisit.
- Starts with
- An anomaly selected by a person or an investigation trigger.
- Produces
- A reproducible assessment, evidence history, and an incident record when needed.
Stage 06 / 10○Maturity: PLANNED
Predict
Explore what may happen next, with assumptions and accuracy made explicit.
- Starts with
- Baselines, trends, and recorded outcomes.
- Produces
- Planned forecasts for exhaustion, cost, and recurrence, with an accuracy record.
Stage 07 / 10◐Maturity: BUILDING
Recommend
Give a person a candidate next step with enough context to evaluate it.
- Starts with
- An explanation, affected resources, and the environment around them.
- Produces
- Advisory cost recommendations today. Operational actions with risk and rollback context are being designed.
Stage 08 / 10○Maturity: PLANNED
Act
Execute an approved plan within explicit operational boundaries.
- Starts with
- An approved recommendation linked to a fixed execution plan.
- Produces
- A planned audited action with approval, blast-radius checks, and rollback preparation.
Stage 09 / 10○Maturity: PLANNED
Verify
Check whether an action met the success criteria defined before it ran.
- Starts with
- Criteria fixed before execution and the signals that raised the original question.
- Produces
- A planned verified outcome, or a rollback when the criteria are not met.
Stage 10 / 10○Maturity: PLANNED
Learn
Use confirmed outcomes and feedback to inform the next investigation.
- Starts with
- Verified results, confirmed explanations, and human feedback.
- Produces
- Planned operational memory scoped to each tenant, improving evidence ranking over time.
