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
If any of these sounds familiar, PAA was built for you.
Scaling
Approaching your first scaling milestone
Architecture debt is cheapest to fix before you've built on top of it. Once you're scaling, the same issues cost 10x more to resolve.
Budget
Can't justify a €15,000 consultant
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.
Fundraising
Preparing for investor due diligence
Your next round comes with technical due diligence. Know your platform health before the auditors do — not after.
Bandwidth
CTO deep in product, nobody watching the platform
Features ship, infrastructure decisions pile up, and architectural debt accumulates silently. Nobody's watching the platform while you're building.
Real Findings
What PAA finds in real environments
Anonymized findings from actual assessments. Your environment may look different — most do.
€180,000
Identified in annual Azure waste
A SaaS startup running a single full assessment identified €180,000 in annual cloud spend that could be eliminated — orphaned resources, over-provisioned SKUs, and misconfigured retention policies.
Critical
Security posture finding
Over-privileged service accounts were silently modifying security settings — undetected for months. Found two weeks before a planned SOC 2 audit. Fixed before the auditors arrived.
Built to do the work
Purpose-built agents that deliver expert-level analysis across every dimension of your architecture.
10x Faster
Hours, not weeks. Get comprehensive assessments while your sprint is still running.
WAF Pillar Scoring
Track architecture health over time with quantified scores across Reliability, Security, Cost Optimization, Operational Excellence, and Performance Efficiency.
Remediation Code
Every finding comes with ready-to-deploy Terraform and Bicep code. Not just findings — fixes.
Compliance Mapped
NIS2, DORA, GDPR, and SOC 2 mapping with deterministic rule-based checks — not AI guesswork.
GitHub Sync
Optional sync to your GitHub and Confluence. Findings live where your team already works.
No Waiting for Results
Watch findings surface as agents work — not a spinner for 30 minutes followed by a dump. You see reasoning as it happens.

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. Grab a €99 Day Pass, run your first assessment, and decide if a Pro subscription makes sense 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 Europe. With GitHub or Confluence integration enabled, findings can optionally sync to your own systems.
