**Period:** Last 30 Days
### Summary
| Provider | Spend | vs Previous |
|----------|-------|-------------|
| AWS | $X | +X% |
| GCP | $X | +X% |
| Azure | $X | -X% |
### Top Recommendations
1. **Rightsize <resource>** - Save $X/month (95% confidence)
2. **Convert to Reserved** - Save $X/month
3. **Delete unused resources** - Save $X/month
### Anomalies
- <date>: <service> spiked $X above expected
### Actions
- [ ] Rightsize instance X
- [ ] Purchase reserved capacity
- [ ] Clean up unused volumes
