Why dashboards are not enough

Dashboards show spend. Ownership reduces spend.

~30%of a typical AWS bill has no owner

How it works

From AWS bill to owned cost in five steps

Step 1

Connect

Read-only role + Cost & Usage Report

Step 2

Allocate 100%

BU · app · env · owner, shared costs split

Step 3

Tag ownership

Virtual tags — no AWS tagging needed

Step 4

Catch anomalies

Hourly, per resource → Jira / Slack / Teams

Step 5

Prove savings

Observed on the next bill, per owner

Platform

Built for the questions Finance and Engineering actually ask

100% allocation

"Whose is this $52k of shared cost?"

Every line lands in a BU, app, environment and owner. Shared costs split by your rules; published months frozen.

Amortised, blended, unblended
Drill from BU to resource
Auditable monthly publishes

Ownership Tagging Studio

"Only 39% of our resources are tagged."

Virtual tags assign owners by account, name, cluster or service — on the platform side, re-applied every refresh.

No AWS tagging programme needed
Tag normalisation built in
Owners drive routing and reports

Anomaly Radar

"Why did search cost 4× yesterday?"

Hourly detection per resource. Each finding carries its owner and becomes a Jira ticket or Slack / Teams post.

One ticket per resource, no duplicates
Expected changes suppressed
Savings reconciled after the fix

Unit economics

"Is cost per order falling as we scale?"

Allocated cost joined to your own metrics — orders, customers, GB — on one line Finance and Engineering both read.

Cost per unit by BU or app
Budgets on the unit, not the total

Savings tracking + Report Studio

"Which savings actually showed up?"

Every opportunity has an owner and a ticket; the next bills prove the drop. The same numbers feed the monthly executive deck.

Observed vs attributed, per ticket
Scheduled email, Slack, Teams
PowerPoint pack, monthly
