Across an enterprise AWS estate comprising over two hundred member accounts, unattached EBS volumes, idle GPU instances, and suboptimal NAT gateway routing paths were generating tens of thousands of dollars in silent monthly waste.

Meridian FinOps was deployed in read-only audit mode. Within forty-eight hours, agents mapped the entire resource topology, cross-referencing CloudWatch utilization metrics against cost allocation tags.

Rather than producing an unactionable PDF report, Meridian FinOps generated discrete, peer-reviewed Terraform pull requests assigned directly to resource owners. Engineers approved the changes in GitHub, reducing monthly cloud spend by over $115,000 without a single service disruption.
