Policy: AWS > Well-Architected Tool > AWS Well-Architected Framework > Cost Optimization > COST 05. How do you evaluate cost when you select services? > Perform a thorough analysis of each component

Look at overall cost to the organization of each component. Look at total cost of ownership by factoring in cost of operations and management, especially when using managed services. Review effort should reflect potential benefit - for example, time spent analyzing is proportional to component cost.
