Engineering teams aren't accountable for their cloud spend
The CFO has asked why product-team cloud costs sit on the central budget rather than the product P&L. Today there's no team-level allocation, no internal billing, and no monthly conversation where product teams review their spend against budget.
Trigger — CFO pressure on cost accountability; product P&L pressure.
Good outcome — Every product team gets a monthly statement of their cloud spend against their budget. The conversation moves from "we don't know what it costs" to "what shall we do about the workloads costing more than we expected?".
