01 — Cost
Where the credits go
Warehouse metering read credit by credit from ACCOUNT_USAGE — attributed by warehouse, role, and query, not guessed at from a monthly total.
A ranked, read-only sweep of your own Snowflake account — cost, waste, governance, storage, tasks and Cortex — delivered as findings you can verify line by line.
Plain SELECTs against your ACCOUNT_USAGE tables. No vendor installed, no agent running, no live connection to your data — a ranked list of findings across six domains, each one tracing back to a query you can run yourself. The queries are the receipts.
Warehouse metering read credit by credit from ACCOUNT_USAGE — attributed by warehouse, role, and query, not guessed at from a monthly total.
Warehouses sized for a peak that never comes, auto-suspend gaps, and multi-cluster overspill — the credits that buy nothing.
Role grants, access history, and masking-policy coverage — including the Cortex-AI RBAC gap that hands broad model access to roles that never asked for it.
TABLE_STORAGE_METRICS read straight: what each table costs to keep, plus the Time Travel and Fail-safe tails still on the bill.
Tasks and streams ranked by real cost: failures, long tails, and the pipelines that quietly doubled without anyone opening the bill.
Cortex function spend and data-metric-function coverage — what the AI features cost, and where the monitoring quietly isn't running.
Every finding traces back to a query you can run yourself. Here is the published evidence — the same methodology, worked in public.
