Health Assessment — the approach
A flat-fee audit where AI does the heavy lifting to find waste and risk — quantified in dollars.
The primary use case. A flat-fee, expert-audited audit of a customer's Splunk and/or Cribl environment that surfaces waste, misconfiguration, and risk the vendor's own health reports miss. Small commitment, low trust barrier, built on expertise VisiCore already has — and the natural top of the funnel for everything else.
The pitch in one line
Stop guessing where the waste is.
AI audits your entire architecture
And proves the savings in dollars.
The anchoring proof is real: a single source type was found consuming 25% of indexer CPU that the customer's own vendor health report never flagged.
Why it's the right entry point
Low trust barrier
Analysis of a sanitized diagnostic file, not write-access to production.
Small commitment
A flat fee a manager can approve without a procurement cycle.
Existing expertise
The consulting work we already do well — AI compresses the ~40-hour version into ~4 hours of expert review.
Top of funnel
A delivered assessment is the most credible possible lead-in to remediation and a subscription.
This work is REPEATABLE
We run the exact same process customer after customer. After enough iterations, we'll have the full playbook comprehensively documented, making each engagement faster and higher-margin than the last.
Proof it sells: Quest
A live customer pays Cribl $36K for 96 hours to cut Splunk consumption ~15% (≈$150K/yr saved). The X10 + AI version delivers the same outcome faster and turns it recurring. Full math: Proof in Dollars.
How it runs (with the Trust Zone built in)
The sanitization step strips PII, secrets, and hostnames deterministically before any external model is invoked — which makes the assessment the easiest offering to clear customer security review, and a further reason to lead with it. See the architecture.
Work assignments
Prove before expanding
Three paid assessments
Same offer, same price, three different warm clients.
Conversion rate
How many assessment clients buy remediation or a subscription.
Real COGS
Measured engineer review time, false-positive handling, support burden — not token cost.
Trust threshold
What compliance posture clears review at Deloitte and World Pay.
Repeat extraction
Which workflows repeat identically enough to justify productization.
Subscribe to quarterly check-ins
After the assessment and remediation, the customer subscribes to quarterly check-ins to ensure their architecture remains optimized and compliant. This provides ongoing recurring revenue.

The Path to Automation
The first few Health Assessments will be manual and potentially time-consuming. We will learn exactly what patterns to look for and how to structure the final reports.
However, this process is going to get more automated over time. That is a huge part of the strategy. As we codify the rules and patterns, AI will take on more of the initial drafting, eventually turning the Health Assessment into a fully automated, high-margin asset.
