Cost overview

The per-tenant cost dashboard — daily AI, email, and infra spend with totals and anomaly markers, derived from real ledgers.

Cost overview

The cost overview is your tenant's all-in spend dashboard: a daily series of AI, email, and infrastructure cost, with totals and anomaly markers, so cost is something you watch on a dashboard rather than reconstruct at quarter-end.

It is backed by core.cost_tracker.tenant_cost_breakdown and served by GET /v1/admin/costs.

Derived from real ledgers

AI spend comes from the ai_usage ledger, email from real send volume, and the series is scanned for outliers via a rolling mean ± 2σ. These are actuals, not modeled placeholders.

API

Admin/owner only, tenant-scoped from the auth context:

code
GET /v1/admin/costs?days=30        # days: 7…180, default 30

Returns a CostBreakdown: a per-day series split by AI / email / infra, running totals, and anomaly markers where a day's spend deviates more than two standard deviations from the rolling mean.

The route is gated on both require_module("admin") and a legacy admin-role check — belt-and-suspenders, so the dashboard can never leak across tenants even if the modules feature flag is toggled off for a tenant.

How it relates to the other cost surfaces

The cost overview is the tenant-facing roll-up. Two narrower surfaces drill in:

  • AIAI cost caps for per-feature and per-provider AI spend, and AI budget to actually cap it.
  • Enrichment — enrichment spend is metered separately in enrichment_costs; see enrichment pricing for provider unit rates.

Platform-wide rollup is separate

A cross-tenant, per-provider platform cost rollup (core.cost_rollup, Wave R) exists for operators — with explicit measured / operator_pinned / estimate source badges so a typed-in invoice figure never masquerades as a measured actual. That surface is an internal operator view, distinct from this per-tenant dashboard.
