Cloud cost & operating model
Make the bill explainable, then make it move
Constraint
Spend rising faster than usage. Finance and engineering used different numbers. Tagging was optional folklore.
Contracted outcome
A shared unit-cost view, ownership on every production resource, and a 90-day plan that cuts waste without freezing delivery.
Production increment
Account structure, tags as a merge-gate, budgets, rightsizing backlog, and a weekly review that uses the same dashboard.
