Start with one provider

Connect a provider through its read-only API where supported, or bring a provider export. Start with one billing period and check the account, currency and dates against the provider’s records.

Look at total spend, usage and cost per unit for the same period. If spend rose while unit costs fell, check whether volume or the mix of models changed.

Read forecasts alongside actual spend

Use forecasts and their ranges to plan. Keep estimates, provider-reported costs and invoice-matched amounts distinct when sharing a result. Measure ROI against a business outcome that you can verify.
