The problem it solves

You want an up-to-date view of your cloud spending in your reporting dashboard, but pulling and formatting billing data by hand is tedious and easy to forget. By the time you check, the numbers are already stale.

Who it fits

A finance, ops, or engineering lead who tracks Google Cloud spending and wants it visualized in a BI tool.

How it works

  1. Your dashboard requests the latest billing data
  2. The system queries your Google Cloud billing records
  3. The costs are formatted into a clean structure
  4. Your dashboard receives the data ready to visualize
What you get

Billing numbers ready for your dashboard

Your Google Cloud spending is ready and formatted the moment your dashboard asks for it.

What you get

A structured billing data feed ready to plug into any BI or reporting dashboard.

What you need

A Google Cloud account with billing export to BigQuery enabled.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
