Keep spending reports useful without changing or removing them by mistake.

Illustrative idea, not a published runnable template. Grunt is prelaunch; live service is paused and live provider connections and outcomes remain unverified. The steps, providers, and outcomes below describe a concept.

For an authorized account owner, list existing cost and usage reports and prepare a new definition or change to report preferences. Confirm account, destination, data scope, and access permissions; treat report contents as sensitive financial and operational information; and require an authorized finance or cloud owner to approve creation, updates, or deletion before applying them.

Actual availability depends on published steps, supported connections, permissions, and provider approval.
