01 / THE TRIGGER
Month-end arrives and an agency must separate shared API, cloud, and SaaS usage across client projects before invoices can go out.
The research hypothesis is that account and operations teams lose hours to CSV exports, spreadsheet allocation, and manual invoice entry—or absorb uncertain costs as overhead.
02 / SAMPLE OUTPUT
A useful answer before a sales form.
This preview shows the shape of the output with synthetic inputs. Nothing here is personalized advice or production evidence.

03 / HOW A PILOT WORKS
Test a narrow output
Use synthetic or explicitly approved sample data in a scoped report.
Decide with evidence
Continue only if the workflow helps and a buyer makes a commercial commitment.
04 / FIT
Built for a narrow buyer.
Worth a conversation if you are…
✓ Digital agencies and consultancies with 5–50 active clients
✓ Dev shops sharing cloud or API accounts across projects
✓ Operations and finance leads reconciling usage-based client costs
Not the right fit for…
— Enterprise cloud-finops replacement projects
— Automatic billing without human review
— Teams with no client-specific usage costs
05 / FOUNDING OFFER
A founding allocation audit using approved usage exports to map one month of shared costs into a reviewable client billback report.
COMMERCIAL HYPOTHESIS
$49–$149/month hypothesis10-minute audit, then a scoped concierge testDiscuss the scope →06 / WHAT IS TRUE TODAY
This is a demand-validation page, not a currently available self-serve billing product.
The preview uses synthetic costs and does not claim recovered revenue, saved time, or accounting accuracy.
Any concierge test requires approved exports, human review, and written handling and deletion terms before data is shared.
07 / STRAIGHT ANSWERS
Questions this test must answer.
Does this connect to AWS or OpenAI today?+
No production integration is represented here. The first test uses approved exports to learn which sources and allocation rules buyers actually need.
Will it create invoices automatically?+
Not in the initial test. The proposed first output is a reviewable allocation summary or CSV; accounting sync remains a hypothesis.
How is willingness to pay tested?+
The experiment advances only if qualified agencies complete discovery and make a concrete pilot or preorder commitment.
