AI FinOps Cost Anomaly Escalation Framework

Anomaly response stalls when escalation timing and ownership are unclear. This framework standardizes who is paged, what triggers escalation, and how progress is reviewed.

Implementation Steps

1. Define spend-variance trigger bands and map each to response SLA and owner group.
2. Set escalation thresholds for customer impact, regulated exposure, and unresolved anomalies.
3. Publish executive-ready updates for anomalies above critical spend or duration thresholds.
4. Archive closure evidence and feed learnings into weekly cost governance rituals.
