The Cloud: A Critical Blind Spot in Due Diligence
When evaluating a company for acquisition, traditional due diligence often overlooks a critical area: the cloud. The cloud infrastructure and spend of the company you're looking to acquire can be a major blind spot, hiding risks that could impact your investment.
You can't simply take the company's word for it. You need to know the real truth. That's where we come in. As independent experts, we specialize in peeling back the layers of cost and usage reports to uncover the reality of their cloud infrastructure and spend.
Are you looking at world-class infrastructure that can scale and withstand disruption, or a patchwork of duct tape and bubble gum? Your investment is too important not to know.
With Cloud Consul, you gain the insights and assurance needed to make informed decisions, ensuring that your acquisition is built on a foundation of truth and transparency.
Exclusive Data Models
Our proprietary benchmark database contains anonymized cloud spend and efficiency data unavailable anywhere else. This exclusive intelligence allows us to provide context that generic consultancies cannot — revealing whether spend levels, architectural patterns, and commitment structures are outliers or industry-standard.
We've analyzed billions in cloud spend across hundreds of engagements, building a unique dataset that drives defensible, peer-validated conclusions.
Independent Validation
Unlike resellers and vendor-aligned consultancies, we have zero financial ties to cloud providers. No kickbacks, no volume incentives, no bias toward specific platforms or commitment structures.
Our recommendations are driven solely by your economics and objectives. Every finding is reconciled to source data — invoices, contracts, and usage reports — ensuring complete transparency and defensibility.
Executive-Grade Deliverables
Our reports are designed for boardrooms and lender presentations. We translate technical complexity into financial impact, presenting findings in formats that support valuation decisions, credit approvals, and investment committee discussions.
Each deliverable is peer-reviewed by partners and structured to withstand scrutiny from auditors, lenders, and deal teams.
Confidentiality Assured
Every engagement operates under strict NDA with air-gapped data environments. We isolate client data in dedicated infrastructure with no cross-client exposure, and permanently delete all materials within 30 days post-engagement.
Your competitive intelligence and transaction details remain completely confidential. We never share insights, patterns, or findings with cloud vendors or other parties.
Senior-Led Engagements
Partners conduct and present the work. No handoffs to junior staff, no outsourced analysis, no diluted expertise. You work directly with the same seasoned professionals from scoping through final presentation.
This ensures continuity, accountability, and the depth of experience that critical transactions demand.
