Full premium synthetic sample
See the decision pack before you upload your own infrastructure evidence.
Review the boardroom-ready VMware to Proxmox report, planning logic and risk framing that Shift Evidence generates before any production change is approved.
This public sample uses a synthetic industrial VMware environment to show the full consulting-style output: readiness, storage destination, licensing exposure, continuity risk, VM matrix, migration waves, Senior AI Advisor commentary and Project Memory decisions.

The downloadable PDF is a synthetic public sample. It is intentionally richer than the basic preview so prospects can evaluate report quality without exposing customer data or confusing the sample with a quote.

Executive layer
Executive summary preview
Northbridge Industrial has a medium migration readiness posture based on the evidence provided. The VMware inventory is usable for planning, but backup restore evidence, application dependency mapping, storage design and production go/no-go criteria remain incomplete. Low-risk workloads may enter a pilot, while SQL, ERP, domain controller and storage-heavy workloads require manual validation before production waves.
Board-ready narrativeFinancial pressure, technical risk and evidence gaps translated into one decision language.
Technical signal integrityRisk calls stay tied to received evidence instead of being guessed by a generic spreadsheet or chatbot.
Controlled next actionsThe sample shows exactly how pilots, holds and remediation steps are sequenced before production change.
Migration Readiness Score
64/100Medium readiness
The environment has viable pilot candidates, but storage architecture and continuity proof still block broader waves.Evidence Confidence Score
58/100Limited evidence
Confidence stays intentionally restrained when backup, dependencies or target architecture are missing or partial.Interpretation rule
High readiness without high confidence is still a risk.
Shift Evidence separates migration posture from evidence completeness so teams do not confuse inventory visibility with real operational readiness.

Synthetic library
Evidence expansion coverage
What the public sample demonstrates beyond the core inventory export.
| Capability | Status | What it demonstrates |
|---|---|---|
| Synthetic dataset library | 8 scenarios | Demo and QA coverage without customer data. |
| Migration Recommendation Plan | Included | Gates, blockers, remediation, wave strategy and go/no-go sections. |
| Print-friendly PDFs | Applied | White report pages, readable tables and page numbering for stakeholder review. |
| Missing evidence behavior | Visible | Missing backup, target, storage or dependency evidence lowers confidence instead of being guessed. |

Wave qualification
VM classification preview
Workloads are separated by complexity, not just by inventory count.
| VM | Role | Complexity | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| web-portal-01 | Web App | Low | Wave 1 |
| fileserver-02 | File Server | Medium | Validate storage |
| sql-prod-01 | Database | High | Manual review |
| dc-main-01 | Domain Controller | High | Special plan |
| erp-prod | ERP | Critical | Hold |
| backup-proxy | Backup service | High | Wave 0 validation |
| legacy-app | Legacy app | Medium | Retire/rehost review |
Planning previews
Waves, sizing, storage and licensing become planning inputs before they become migration commitments.
The sample shows how planning logic is exposed early, while still keeping operational guardrails and evidence uncertainty visible.
Execution framing
Migration waves preview
Wave 0Pilot
Validate assumptions with non-critical candidates.
Wave 1Low-risk workloads
Move simple workloads after evidence review.
Wave 2Standard production
Requires dependency and backup validation.
Wave 3Critical systems
Identity, database and ERP-like workloads.
HoldNot ready
Blocked until missing evidence is resolved.
RetireCandidates for decommission
Review before spending migration effort.

Advisor preview
Senior AI Advisor layer
Senior AI Advisor examples show how the premium report turns evidence gaps into decision questions, warnings and next actions. They are synthetic and do not replace deterministic scoring or expert review.
Backup evidence was not provided. Do not include critical workloads in early waves until restore points are validated. The first pilot should focus on low-risk workloads with clear rollback and backup validation.
Integrity boundaries
What this sample does not prove
It does not migrate VMs.It does not guarantee zero downtime.It does not replace a pilot.It is not a financial quote or vendor contract.It does not prove backup restorability without backup evidence.It does not assume Ceph is the default target storage.It does not infer application dependencies that were not provided.It does not use customer data.
