description	Compute cost per customer/transaction/feature and read the trend, not the gross bill. Reach for this on a scaling-health question.

Skill: Read unit economics

A rising total bill can be healthy or decay — only the unit cost says which (§3 #2).

Step 1 — Pick the unit

Customers, transactions, or features — the denominator that matters to the business.

Step 2 — Compute cost-per-unit

Allocated cost ÷ units via finops_cloud_cost_calc.py unit-cost (§3 #2).

Step 3 — Read the trend

Rising bill + falling unit cost = healthy; flat bill + rising unit cost = decay (§3 #2).

Step 4 — Attribute the driver

Which service moves the unit cost, on allocated (not gross) spend (§3 #1).

Output

A cost-per-unit read with the trend and the driving service named. Traverse Tree 2 in the decision-trees file.
