showback before chargeback. the order matters more than people think.
showback shows each team its slice of the bill with no money attached. chargeback moves the cost onto its budget. lead with chargeback and you get a turf war — teams litigate the allocation instead of fixing the waste.
most over-spend isn't malice, it's invisibility. show a team its number and a real fraction self-corrects before anyone enforces anything. order of operations: inform, then showback, then chargeback for the stubborn remainder. start at the bottom.
