Start with the quick wins
Beacon surfaces the highest-ROI improvement actions each time you check your score:Cost Optimization improvements
- Resolve idle resource findings from Trusted Advisor — each resolved finding improves your waste ratio
- Increase RI coverage — identify on-demand usage that could be committed to
- Improve tagging coverage — tag untagged resources to improve cost attribution
AI Economics improvements
- Enable prompt caching for workloads that send repeated or similar prompts
- Rightsize model usage — move classification or extraction tasks to smaller, cheaper models
- Fix high retry rates — investigate workloads with error rates above 5%
Security Investment improvements
- Resolve high-exposure, low-effort findings first — best ratio of score impact to time spent
- Enable GuardDuty if not already active — its absence reduces the Security dimension score
- Enable Security Hub for centralized finding aggregation
