Each movement is attributed by the organisation's ownership rules (cloudledger rule): a tag, a linked account or a name pattern. What none of them claims is unowned, and that is the finding. The costed actions are not built yet.

Monthly report

Cloud spend in August 2026 was 22 950, 4.3% above the monthly budget of 22 000.

Not every earlier month of the year is on record here, so this report gives no year-to-date figure.

BigQuery analysis, on-demand took 1 240 off the bill: team-data partitioned the table and cut the schedule.

Compute Engine n2-standard-8 added 430: notebook VMs left running over weekends.

Unowned spend is 2 760, 12% of the bill, spread across 22 resources carrying no team tag. It cannot be attributed to anyone, and it will appear in every report until the tags exist.

No forecast is made yet, so this report does not say where next month lands.

No costed actions are recorded for this account yet.
