Define org-wide FinOps — allocation, showback/chargeback, EA utilization
Place regulated workloads — residency, encryption, logging, isolation patterns
Architect hybrid at scale — identity federation, DC portfolio, carrier diversity
Harmonize multi-cloud posture — primary vs secondary, exit and portability
Prepare steering and board materials — risk, cost, migration portfolio
Publish enterprise reference architectures and mandatory controls catalog
