Forecast amortized costs month over month based on historical trends
Finance needs to perform month over month forecasting by extrapolating amortized costs based on historical rates. Having this data enables Finance to create amortized cost models.
Monthly amortized (effective) cost per provider, service category, service and charge category as the historical series for a forecast. The sample has billing periods in September 2025 (Google Cloud, 2 rows), March 2026 and April 2026 (Oracle only), so the trend is thin. AWS and Oracle effective_cost values in this sample are whole-dollar rounded, so many AWS rows show 0 effective cost.
