Engineering teams are not accountable for their cloud spend
The CFO has asked why product-team cloud costs are flat to the org rather than charged back to product P&Ls. Today there is no team-level allocation, no internal billing, no monthly cadence with product teams reviewing their spend against budget.
Trigger — CFO pressure on cost accountability; product P&L pressure.
Good outcome — Tag taxonomy enforced, monthly showback live to BU finance partners, cost dashboard per product team.
