How much does an Azure Architecture Assessment cost?
Assessments are typically $15K to $35K over 2 to 3 weeks, set by initiative scope, owner count, data and cloud complexity, production risk, and required outputs. The range is fixed before work starts, so there is no open-ended billing.
Where do most teams start?
Teams usually start with the Azure Architecture Assessment when risks, owners, scope, or approvals are unclear; it ends with a 90-Day Action Plan and a recommended next step. If your architecture is already approved, the first call confirms whether Blueprint or Build is the better starting point.
What changes the price?
Price changes based on initiative scope, systems involved, Azure complexity, AI risk, owner count, regulatory pressure, implementation depth, and required outputs.
Can I hire RedDogSME hourly?
Fixed-scope services and retainers are the public front door. Hourly overage applies only when scope, authorization, and billing rules are clear.
Do you discount fixed-scope work?
We reduce scope before we reduce price. That keeps fixed-scope architecture work from sliding into open-ended labor.
What happens after assessment or blueprint work?
The work can stay internal, move to Pilot to Production Build, move to Architecture Office, move to Managed AI and Cloud Governance, become a custom SOW, or stop with no further engagement.
