# Executive Dashboard

The Executive Dashboard gives you a sharp, high-level view of your cloud financials. Designed for fast decision-making, it focuses on what matters most - how much you're spending, how much you're saving, and where your biggest opportunities lie.

It starts by showing you the most recent cost activity, giving you an immediate sense of where your cloud budget is headed, across all your cloud providers.

## Cost Overview

Quickly assess how your cloud spend is trending:

* **Last Month’s Spend** shows your total cloud spend of previous month.
* **Last Week’s Spend** gives a short-term view of spend patterns.
* **Average Daily Spend (Last 7 Days)** highlights your average daily burn rate and how it compares to the week before.

Once you're grounded in current spend, the dashboard shifts focus to savings — what you’ve already achieved and what’s still on the table.

## Savings Overview

Measure how well your cost optimization efforts are paying off:

* **Potential Savings** outlines how much monthly cost you could reduce if recommended actions are taken.
* **Total Achieved Savings** reflects the savings already realized through resource optimization.
* **Achieved Savings** showcase the previous month savings and also compares the months savings to the preceding month.

After reviewing savings performance, it's time to explore where your costs are coming from and how they’re trending over time.

## Cost Trends

Get a multi-dimensional view of your cloud cost behavior:

* **Account-wise Trends** reveal how different accounts contribute to spend.
* **Region-wise Trends** track how your costs vary by cloud regions.
* **Service-wise Trends** show which services are driving usage and cost.

### Rising Costs

With rising contributors identified, the next view breaks down cost distribution across your organization.

### Cost by Cost Center

Understand how spend is allocated across different cost centers. This view helps you align budgets, track accountability, and make informed investment decisions at the org level.

To further complete the picture, the dashboard brings cost and savings together — giving you visual clarity on where you're efficient and where there’s room to improve.

## Cost & Savings Insights

### Achieved Savings vs. Cost (Graph)

A visual comparison of your **actual cost** against the **expected cost**, with **achieved savings** clearly highlighted in the gap. This lets you see the impact of optimization in one glance.
