A plain-English explanation lands in Slack or email — root cause, dollar impact, and the fix. No console to learn, no agent to configure, no FinOps team required.
One email when it's ready. No spam, no sales calls.
Right now, a spike means opening Cost Explorer, cross-referencing CloudWatch, and guessing. That's the job this replaces.
A read-only IAM role via CloudFormation. Nothing to install, nothing that can touch your resources.
Every alert names the resource, the likely cause, and a specific fix — not just "EC2 spend up 180%."
Slack or email. No new dashboard to check, no console tab to remember to open.
AWS's own tools assume someone's already mapped every resource to an owner, set up tagging conventions, and runs monthly cost reviews. Most 20–300 person engineering teams haven't done that — and don't have time to start. This works without any of it: connect once, get an answer the next time something spikes.
We're validating before we finish it. An email here is the honest signal we're looking for.
