Why PAA
A decade of patterns, encoded.
PAA isn't generic AI pointed at Azure documentation. It's the distillation of methodologies developed over ten years at Microsoft for Startups, refined across thousands of startup architectures.
Every assessment pattern, every risk heuristic, every remediation approach comes from real-world startup deployments — the ones that scaled, and the ones that didn't. That expertise is now embedded in software, available on demand, at a fraction of the cost.

Who It's For
Built for founders who moved fast and know it
PAA is for technical founders and CTOs who are building on Azure and haven't had the time — or the budget — to think carefully about platform health.
Approaching your first scaling milestone
Can't justify a €15,000 architecture consultant
Preparing for investor technical due diligence
CTO deep in product with nobody watching the platform
Sound familiar?
You don't know what you don't know
You're shipping features. Architecture health isn't on the sprint board. Until something breaks at scale — and by then it's expensive to fix.
Consultants are for Series B, not you
Traditional architecture reviews cost €10,000–25,000. You can't justify that budget pre-revenue. So you skip it and hope for the best.
Your tech lead is deep in product
Nobody is watching the platform. Features ship, infrastructure decisions pile up, and architectural debt accumulates silently.
Investors will ask questions you can't answer
Your next round comes with technical due diligence. Without platform documentation and architecture health scores, you're answering from memory.

How is PAA different from Azure Advisor?
Azure Advisor gives surface-level recommendations. PAA provides comprehensive WAF-aligned assessments across all 5 pillars with remediation code, compliance mapping, and continuous tracking. Think of Advisor as a health check; PAA is a full diagnostic with a treatment plan.
We're pre-revenue. Is PAA right for us?
Yes — this is exactly the right time. Architectural debt is cheapest to fix before you've built on top of it. The Team trial at €499/mo is designed for startups at your stage. Start the trial, run your first assessment, and decide if it's worth continuing based on what you find.
Can PAA modify my Azure environment?
No. PAA uses read-only OAuth access. We can scan and analyze your resources but cannot make any changes to your Azure environment.
How long does an assessment take?
A security quick scan takes 5–10 minutes. A full WAF assessment takes 15–30 minutes. Multi-subscription comprehensive reviews take 1–2 hours. You can watch progress in real-time.
Where is my data stored?
Assessment data is stored securely in PAA (Azure West Europe / Netherlands). With GitHub or Confluence integration enabled, findings can optionally sync to your own systems. We don't store your Azure credentials — they're encrypted in Azure Key Vault and only used during scanning.
Your first assessment is free.
It might save your company.
