Forecast variance vs monthly budget
Executive Insights — generated live from simulation state
Engineering is projected to exceed its monthly AI budget by 77% (variance $11,495), primarily driven by Granite 3.1 8B usage.
Legal remains within budget despite active usage, with forecast variance $-2,879 under its monthly allocation.
968 governance events require review — 41 involve sensitive-data classification and 887 await human approval.
An estimated $651/month could be saved by right-sizing eligible General Purpose workloads to the Economy tier (hypothesis — validate before applying).
Portfolio is forecast to close the month at $86,936 against a $55,000 budget — $31,936 projected overage.
