Budgets
Thresholds set per account, team or environment, tracked against reported spend and forecast forward — so an overrun is a conversation in week two, not a surprise in month two.
Budgets are set against the same breakdown the reporting uses — an account, a team, an environment — so the number belongs to whoever can act on it. A budget assigned to an owner is a control; a budget assigned to the organisation is a statistic.
Knowing you have spent 60% of the month’s budget on the fifteenth is only useful with the trajectory attached. Spend is projected forward from the shape of the period so far, which means the warning arrives while there is still a month left to change something.
A budget breach raises an item in the same ranked queue as everything else, alongside the cost findings that explain it. The alert and the thing to do about it arrive together rather than in two different tools.
Invite-only while we onboard deliberately. We reply either way.
