Crawl-Walk-Run
The FinOps Foundation's maturity model. Crawl means basic visibility and reactive fixes, Walk means regular optimization with some processes in place, and Run means cost management built into everyday decisions and automation. Different capabilities can sit at different stages. Why it matters: Naming the stage honestly helps a team pick the next realistic step.
