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 May 2026 was 9 040, 4.8% below the monthly budget of 9 500.
Not every earlier month of the year is on record here, so this report gives no year-to-date figure.
Azure Virtual Desktop added 120: four seats added for the support team.
Unowned spend is 640, 7% of the bill, spread across 9 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.
