Cloud migration assessment checklist

Ten readiness gates for one migration unit. Ready means every box is true, not that cutover is risk-free.

Estimates use the rates you enter. They are not an invoice and not a guaranteed saving. Re-check official pricing pages before you commit. This tool does not use currency.

ready = all 10 gates checked
score = checked / 10
