Shadow audit
See what would happen, without changing anything
A shadow audit runs Aurelius in dry-run mode against your existing workloads. Nothing changes. No permissions beyond read access to job metadata. Aurelius records the decisions it would have made, without executing any of them.

The report
A complete picture of savings and safety behavior
Zero risk to your production environment. The output is a structured report designed for infrastructure teams.
- Approved decisionsoptimizations that would have been applied
- Skipped decisionsand the specific reason each was rejected
- Simulated savingsenergy cost and carbon reduction
- Latency preservedproof that no SLA would be violated
Output artifact
Every number is auditable
Reports include energy, cost, and carbon deltas, plus operational notes explaining any decisions filtered out by safety gates.
