CloudBoundOperational Intelligence for smaller IT teams.

Understand your environment.
Make better technology decisions.

CloudBound helps your IT team investigate problems, evaluate cloud and AI spending, and understand security and compliance evidence across your Microsoft environment.

It connects specialist findings with application context, helping your team understand what matters, weigh the consequences, and decide what to do next — with the supporting evidence and remaining unknowns visible.

A more capable IT team. Without building a bigger one.

What it does for your team

One environment. Many specialists.
Connected intelligence.

Bring operations, cost, security and compliance intelligence into the same investigation — so your existing team can evaluate decisions that span several specialist disciplines.

01 · Understand

Understand what runs your business.

Discover applications, infrastructure and supported dependencies so you can evaluate technology in its real operational context.

02 · Investigate

Understand problems. Evaluate recovery.

Connect application performance, database behavior and engineering changes to investigate what happened. Establish what recovery evidence supports and what still needs validation.

Explore Engineering and Operations
03 · Spend

Evaluate savings against operational consequences.

Understand what is driving cloud and AI spending, then weigh each reduction against what it would cost you operationally.

04 · Protect

Understand which exposures need attention.

Bring security, identity, endpoint and governance evidence together so the list becomes a priority rather than a backlog.

Explore Security and Access
05 · Prove

Know what you can prove.

Evaluate technical compliance evidence, understand what's missing, and prepare for assessments without confusing configuration with compliance.

06 · Decide

Make decisions that hold up over time.

Hive weighs the findings against your operational objectives, and the decision is retained with the evidence it rested on — so a later review can check the result rather than start again.

CloudBound Application Intelligence

See the application as a system.

Application Intelligence discovers logical applications and their supported relationships, learns from your team, and maintains that understanding as your environment changes. Explore the components, evidence and material changes together—without maintaining a CMDB first.

How it fits together

How CloudBound connects the evidence.

CloudBound connects application context with relevant specialist evidence so your team can evaluate a decision across domains. Findings, assumptions and unanswered questions remain visible as the investigation develops.

01

Application Intelligence

Understand the application and its supported dependencies.

Proven relationships stay separate from candidates and unknowns, so a dependency you cannot see never passes for one that isn't there.

02

Persistent Operational Context

Carry relevant understanding and decision history into later investigations.

Retain relevant application context and recorded decisions so later investigations can revisit conclusions and outstanding checks.

03

Specialist Intelligence

Evaluate the question using the relevant domain expertise.

Operations, FinOps, AI Economics, databases, security, identity and compliance contribute when the question needs them — and say where their scope ends.

04

Hive

Compare options using the combined findings and your operational objectives.

Hive is where a decision changes because of evidence from somewhere else.

For example: cost evidence identifies a reduction candidate. Application evidence reveals a nightly workload, while recovery evidence leaves the migration path unqualified. Hive directs the team toward validating a smaller tier first—and retains the decision so the financial and operational result can be checked later.

Governance and customer control

Keep authorization, provenance and uncertainty intact across all of it.

Every conclusion stays inspectable back to the evidence it rests on.

Deep AI Economics

Your AI bill tells you what you spent.
Does it tell you what to change?

Understand what AI consumes, what useful work it supports and why spending changed. Evaluate alternatives against quality and operational requirements, then verify the financial and operational results.

CloudBound brings AI consumption, billing evidence, application context and operational constraints together to help your team understand spending and evaluate optimization opportunities.

Token counts are not dollars. Reduced spending is not verified savings. Cheaper inference is not automatically equivalent work. CloudBound keeps observed spend, estimated opportunity and measured realized savings separate, because only one of them is a result.

Application Intelligence

Which applications are actually associated with the spending? Attribution is shown only where the relationship is supported.

AI Economics

What changed in usage, cost, model selection and demand? Comparisons state the basis and its limits.

Hive

Which option best meets the economic and operational objectives — and what has to be validated first?

How your team reaches it

Your AI assistant. Your environment.
Your operational intelligence.

CloudBound is designed for customer-controlled deployment and authorized access to the Microsoft systems your organization depends on.

Use supported AI assistants to work with governed CloudBound intelligence, rather than building and maintaining a separate operational reasoning system for every tool. The assistant owns the conversation. Supported assistants work with governed CloudBound evidence, with its scope and limitations preserved.

Plans

Explore CloudBound plans.

CloudBound is an annual subscription. The specialist families, Application Intelligence and Hive are part of the product rather than separate purchases, and you connect the AI assistants your team already uses. You run it in your own Azure environment and pay your own hosting and model costs.
