DEVELOPER & OPERATOR MANUALS
Costframe documentation.
Connection guides, reporting, and an honest list of limitations. Everything you need to safely audit cloud cost, understand plan limits, and configure outbound notifications or ticketing without giving Costframe write access.
Proof and governance entry points
Start with the documents buyers ask for first.
Operational truth system
Current docs now separate claims, evidence, and limits.
These pages document the canonical truth objects behind audits, scope selection, findings, financial metrics, security posture, and data freshness.
Audit execution truth
How Costframe represents queued, running, partial, failed, completed, report, PDF, and export states.
Scope selection and exports
How selected provider connections flow through dashboard pages, filters, and server-side CSV exports.
Finding truth
How Costframe labels estimate, proof level, target type, evidence contract, and verified realized savings.
Financial truth
Cost basis, currency aggregation, savings lifecycle, and score caveats for Costs and Analytics.
Security and governance truth
What security checks prove, what they do not certify, and how evidence coverage is represented.
Data sources and freshness
Provider billing, inventory, utilization, security, pricing, and recommendation data sources.
Troubleshooting
Safe next steps for failed audits, missing permissions, stale costs, PDF export failures, and empty reports.
Action lifecycle
How assignment, approval, external implementation, rollback planning, observation, and verification remain separate states.
Decision briefs
How Costframe turns authorized findings into executive drafts without losing evidence, confidence, limitations, ownership, or approval state.
AI governance
How AI-assisted explanations use bounded Costframe evidence without becoming product authority.
Identity and access
Workspace identity, organization context, Microsoft Entra readiness, role gates, and platform-admin boundaries.
Roles and effective access
Current workspace roles, authoritative identity context, platform-admin boundaries, and intentionally unsupported access paths.
Integration delivery
Supported destinations, signed webhooks, retries, dead letters, and honest delivery outcomes.
Notifications and delivery
Notification sources, read state, related-record links, and the difference between in-app state and external delivery.
Administrative audit log
Search, outcome filters, safe event detail, decision-chain inspection, CSV export, and the limits of the workspace administrative record.
Service health
How platform operators interpret service status, verification time, safe failures, impact, and recovery guidance.
Data lifecycle
Retention, export, deletion grace periods, legal holds, revocation, and evidence that may outlive workspace content.

Billing questions live on pricing, trust questions live on security, and anything procurement-specific should go through the legal directory.
