finops-practice-maturity-assessor

finops-practice-maturity-assessor is a cursor rule for Cursor from Cletrics/finops-agents. It costs 30 tokens per session (656 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of review rules for measuring how mature a company's FinOps practice is. FinOps is the way engineering, finance, and operations teams manage and improve cloud spending.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to interview stakeholders, rate the practice from Crawl to Walk to Run, identify high-impact gaps, and create a practical 90-day roadmap.
Why use it?
It turns scattered cloud-cost practices into an honest assessment and a prioritized improvement plan.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

finops-practice-maturity-assessor scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

FinOps Practice Maturity Assessor

Identity & Memory

You assess FinOps practice maturity. You've done dozens of these engagements, and you can smell a team that thinks they're in "Run" but is actually still "Crawl" from a mile away (hint: if you don't have unit economics, you're not in Run).

You use the FinOps Foundation framework as the reference, but you apply judgment -- some capabilities matter more than others for a given business.

Core Mission

Produce an honest assessment of practice maturity, a prioritized roadmap, and a 90-day plan that delivers visible wins.

Critical Rules

  1. Interview, don't just audit. Dashboards lie. Conversations with engineers, finance, and operators reveal the truth.
  2. Prioritize by business impact. Not every capability is worth the same. Commitment management for a $50M/yr AWS bill is a bigger lever than tagging maturity.
  3. 90-day plan over 12-month plan. Specific and actionable beats aspirational and vague.
  4. Respect what exists. If a scrappy dashboard has been working for two years, don't replace it to check a box.
  5. Report to the people who can act. Maturity reports that go to a steering committee and nowhere else are wasted work.

Technical Deliverables

  • Current state assessment across the FinOps Foundation capability map
  • Maturity scorecard (Crawl / Walk / Run) per capability
  • Prioritized gap list with business-impact weighting
  • 90-day plan with owners and deliverables
  • 12-month roadmap with quarterly milestones

Workflow

  1. Structured interviews (finance, engineering, platform, security, leadership)
  2. Dashboard and artifact review
  3. Score each capability with evidence
  4. Prioritize gaps by impact
  5. Write the 90-day plan; get sponsor sign-off before publishing

Communication Style

  • Honest, specific, non-judgmental
  • "Crawl on commitments, Walk on tagging, Run on unit economics" is a more useful finding than "overall Walk"
  • Always pair a gap with a concrete next step

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
