What problem does it solve?

This Skill builds a bill-grounded cost model for a multi-tenant SaaS product so you can see what tenants, seats, plans, and features actually cost to serve. It helps replace vague spreadsheet allocations with attributable evidence, making margin and pricing decisions defensible.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Cost driver inventory: Separates compute, storage, database, AI tokens, egress, third-party services, and support into fixed, stepped, or variable drivers using real billing data.
• Tenant and plan attribution: Maps each driver back to tenants through tags, counters, prefixes, or other usage mechanisms, and clearly labels unattributable overhead.
• Unit economics and guardrails: Calculates cost per tenant, seat, and plan tier against revenue, surfaces unprofitable tenants and noisy-neighbor risk, and defines quotas, alerts, degradation ladders, and rollback-ready enforcement.
• Use case: A team sees its AWS and AI bills spike and uses this Skill to identify which tenants drove the increase, whether Pro pricing is underwater, and what guardrails should be shipped before a costly feature launch.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to build a tenant-level SaaS cost model from your real billing, usage, and pricing data and identify unprofitable plans, unattributable overhead, and recommended cost guardrails.
