Ledger feed, per-initiative actuals, forward-looking estimates.

Stakeholder cost answers and the service-catalog export.

Compose each project's actual cost, issue the monthly invoice, email it to the project's admins, and show cost to date in the Billing portal.

A need to buy is taken in; vendors and plans are sourced and compared; the terms, the cost and the alternative considered are set out; one recommendation goes to the person who approves the spend.

Everything the estate already pays for is kept on a calendar: renewal dates, expiries and price changes are raised ahead of time so nothing lapses or renews unseen.

Stewardship.

What the estate already pays for is kept true: each vendor's own billing surface is asked on a cadence what the account holds, every reading is recorded with the instant it was taken, a vendor that cannot be read is named rather than left showing yesterday's figure, and a subscription whose credit is exhausted is answered once a day - escalated to Orion, told to Ninad, with the alternatives ranked from their own recorded balances. It decides nothing and moves nothing: Budget Control still decides what may be spent.

When a model call cannot be measured, Elrond emails the administrator from his own address and escalates to Orion.

Project billing: what each project actually cost, invoiced monthly by email and shown to date in the Billing portal. Model-free work (composition and mail); pricing stays with Sales.

The estate's own money kept under control: cost estimates reconciled against what the work and the cloud bill actually cost, the journal of every change to a spending limit, each morning's funding of the tracks, the daily watch for spending with no work ticket behind it, the daily budget-compliance verdict, and the service catalogue export. It governs money once a commitment exists; deciding what to buy is the Procurement track's, and charging projects is the Billing track's. Displayed as Core until 2026-09-17 - the key is unchanged. Subscription balances were read here until 2026-09-17: moved subscriptions, their plans and their provider balances to the Procurement track (Ninad, CLI-468), taking the Model Subscriptions app, the balance reader and the credit watch with them. Budget Control still READS the balances it needs - it no longer holds them.

Deciding what the estate buys, before money is committed. A need for a vendor, subscription or paid service is assessed: the options are sourced and compared, the terms and the cost are set out beside the alternative considered, and one recommendation is made to the person who approves the spend. Renewals and expiries of what the estate already pays for are tracked so nothing lapses or renews unseen. This track does not set or police spending limits (the Budget Control track does), does not charge projects (the Billing track does) and does not audit a purchase (Themis does). Owned by Marco, Head of Procurement. Subscriptions, their plans and their provider balances are HELD here since 2026-09-17: the Model Subscriptions app, the reader that asks each vendor its own billing page what the account holds, and the watch that answers a subscription whose credit is exhausted. Reading a balance is not policing a limit - Budget Control still reads these figures and still decides what any track may spend.
