Turning numbers into strategy.
Cloud & Capital is Diana Molski's home for financial analysis, technology-cost tools, and clear explanations of money and markets. The work connects a finance and FinOps foundation with questions people and small businesses actually need to answer.
This GitHub organization holds the source code and technical documentation. The website brings the tools, services, writing and learning resources together.
| Project | Purpose | Explore |
|---|---|---|
| AI Cost Lens | Review AI bills and usage, then connect costs to outcomes when supporting evidence exists | Open tool |
| Cloud Cost Guard | Read-only cloud, direct-AI and software-spend review with reconciled totals and explicit coverage boundaries | Open demo |
| Market Tape | Explore market and infrastructure signals with source-linked context for technology-spending decisions | Open dashboard |
Public worked examples in AI Cost Lens and Cloud Cost Guard use illustrative data. Each project describes its supported inputs, evidence requirements, setup and limits.
The technical work spans billing data, allocation, reconciliation, variance analysis, anomalies, scenario modeling and unit economics. Supporting tools include:
| Repository | Focus |
|---|---|
| FinOps Lite | Cloud billing analysis and FOCUS export workflows |
| FinOps Watchdog | Baseline-aware cost anomaly analysis |
| Recovery Economics | Backup, recovery and resilience cost scenarios |
| SaaS Cost Analyzer | Software costs, license utilization and forecasting |
| Tech Spend Command Center | Consolidated technology-cost reporting |
| Cloud & Capital Analysis Contract | Shared analysis contracts and validation |
The goal is a reviewable answer: trace the inputs, explain the calculation, and distinguish a finding from an assumption. See individual repositories for tests, examples, licenses and implementation status.
Business services offer three starting points:
- Technology Cost Review: understand supplied software, AI or cloud spending records and identify evidence-supported next steps.
- AI & Workflow Review: examine a recurring process and identify a worthwhile improvement.
- Tool & Automation Setup: build and test one agreed tool, automation or process.
Insights houses educational articles and walkthroughs. Investing & Trading is a separate learning path. Markets & Mimosas brings Diana's perspective to money, markets and the business behind the numbers.
