What it does
Investigate spend shifts before they stick.
Spot unusual cloud costs and alert the right team with the affected services, accounts and owners.
- Flag big jumps from normal cloud costs as new billing and usage data arrives.
- Inspect contributing services, cloud scopes and attributed owners to narrow the investigation.
- Track triage and follow-up so anomalies produce accountable action rather than another alert.
