1. Burn pacing - Route stable workloads onto committed capacity and reduce shadow usage outside contract lanes. (Critical)
2. Term-end shortfall risk - Launch commit-recovery pipeline for eligible workloads and track weekly burn acceleration. (Critical)
3. Overage premium control - Retain overage watchlist and validate burst controls monthly. (Medium)

5. Governance cadence - Maintain cadence and enforce dated owner closures for open risks. (Medium)

## 30-day plan
1. Stand up a 30-day burn recovery war room across procurement, finance, and AI operations owners.
2. Prioritize top-volume workloads that can be migrated into committed lanes within two billing cycles.
3. Escalate pricing guardrails and fallback constraints to executive review until exposure drops below threshold.
