# How Do I Audit Archera?

To verify Archera data, we recommend:

1. Create a Segment that aligns with an individual account you have access to on the AWS Console.
2. Collect summary cost data from the Archera Segment.
3. Validate the utilization costs against AWS Cost Explorer data.

AWS provides native cost-explorer dashboards that you can use to get an official view into how effectively Archera is managing your RIs and Savings Plans.

This is where you can find the utilization numbers for existing RIs and Savings Plans:

* Right Sizing RIs and Savings Plans in the AWS Console
* Cost Anomaly Detection reports

Please note that Archera calculates coverage differently in some cases from AWS — you can read more about this [here](/help-center/user-guide/commitment-coverage.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.archera.ai/help-center/faq/audit.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
