FLUID Assessment is a structured, 2 to 4 week diagnostic that replaces the guessing with a clear, evidence-based view. Two Solution Architects deliver every assessment, so the evaluation never rides on one person’s opinion.  ![Rectangle 210](https://pages.melio.ai/hubfs/Rectangle%20210.png) Trusted By: ![absa](https://pages.melio.ai/hubfs/absa.png) ![sanlam](https://pages.melio.ai/hubfs/sanlam.png) ![exxaro](https://pages.melio.ai/hubfs/exxaro.png) and many more... ## How It Works ![](https://pages.melio.ai/hubfs/raw_assets/public/melio-theme/images/up-orange.svg) ![](https://pages.melio.ai/hubfs/raw_assets/public/melio-theme/images/down-orange.svg) 1 ### Traffic-Light Analysis  A clear summary of short and medium-term risk, with a mitigation plan for the areas that matter most.  2 ### Traffic-Light Analysis  A clear summary of short and medium-term risk, with a mitigation plan for the areas that matter most.  3 ### Traffic-Light Analysis  A clear summary of short and medium-term risk, with a mitigation plan for the areas that matter most.  4 ### Traffic-Light Analysis  A clear summary of short and medium-term risk, with a mitigation plan for the areas that matter most.  A typical assessment runs across five checkpoints: a kick-off workshop, a deep-dive architecture session, an interim report and follow-up, a review workshop, and a final report, over roughly ten working days. ![Group 242](https://pages.melio.ai/hubfs/Group%20242.png) ## What You Get - An executive summary of your current technology landscape: strengths, weaknesses, areas for improvement - Traffic-light risk analysis across the areas that matter to your business - A report body with evidence: team structure, technical process, tech stack, cloud architecture - Architecture diagrams and documentation addressing the gaps we find - A roadmap with a work-breakdown structure for implementing it - A blueprint for DataOps, DevSecOps, or MLOps process, whichever applies ## Assessment Domains We assess against one domain, or combine domains where the picture needs to be broader.  ![Technology Strategy & DevOps Maturity](https://pages.melio.ai/hubfs/Primary.svg) ### Technology Strategy & DevOps Maturity Deployment and operational process, aligned to business goals.  ![Well-Architected Cloud Maturity](https://pages.melio.ai/hubfs/Primary%20(1).svg) ### Well-Architected Cloud Maturity Security, reliability, performance and cost, benchmarked against AWS Well-Architected pillars.  ![Data Strategy & DataOps Maturity](https://pages.melio.ai/hubfs/Primary%20(2).svg) ### Data Strategy & DataOps Maturity Turning raw data into reliable, on-time insight.  ![AI Strategy & MLOps Maturity](https://pages.melio.ai/hubfs/Primary%20(3).svg) ### AI Strategy & MLOps Maturity Integration, deployment and reusability across your AI/ML estate.  Pricing depends on complexity.

A highly regulated enterprise needing a full team, technology and process review, remediation plan, and a two-week proof-of-concept has landed around $14,999.  [Book an Assessment](https://pages.melio.ai/contact?hsLang=en) ![Group 246-1](https://pages.melio.ai/hubfs/Group%20246-1.png) ## Still not sure where you fit?
