FinOps Foundation aligned

Learn by doing
No passive reading. Every concept is embedded in a task — flag this, calculate that, recommend an action. Knowledge that actually sticks.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need real cloud access or AWS/Azure accounts?
No. All scenarios use fictional company datasets built into the platform. You analyse data directly in the browser — no cloud credentials required.
Is this aligned to the FinOps Foundation curriculum?
Yes. The 10 exercise types map to the FinOps framework domains (Inform, Optimise, Operate) and cover the core capabilities tested in the FinOps Practitioner exam.
What's included in the free plan?
Free gives you full access to the NovaClaim scenario — all 10 exercises, AI feedback, and PDF reports. RetailNow and HealthTech UK require Pro.
How is this different from studying the FinOps Foundation materials?
The official materials are theory-focused. This platform is entirely practical — you develop the analytical instincts and decision-making skills that come from doing real FinOps work.
Can I use this for team training?
Yes. Community and Bundle plans are designed for teams. Contact us about group licences with custom scenarios and progress dashboards.
