Draft outline details
Step by step
- Export the bill and measure how much spend is untagged.
- Define the tag scheme (service, team, environment) and apply it to resources.
- Allocate shared costs with a stated rule.
- Planned mistake: leave a large untagged remainder and report precise per-service numbers. Fix: state the untagged share and reduce it before drawing conclusions.
- Rank services and identify the top three drivers.
- Compute cost per order for each driver and note the first questions to ask the owners.
