In configuration files, this is represented as assessmentType.

Basic assessment (offline)

The Basic assessment is designed to work entirely offline.

It typically includes:

  • resource inventory
  • cost overview
  • portability constraints and risk inventory
  • baseline reporting

This mode is free to use forever and does not require an account.

Standard assessment (advanced)

The Standard assessment enables more advanced scoring and reporting.

Depending on your setup, it may:

  • use enhanced scoring models
  • generate richer reports
  • allow integration with connected platforms (exitcloud.io / escapecloud.io)

If you are running a connected workflow, Standard assessments require an API key.
