BigQuery Query Cost Watch — Optimization Posture

BigQuery query-cost posture, slot pressure, and optimization packets that stay operator-readable.

This control plane turns raw BigQuery usage exports into one FinOps surface: bytes-scanned spikes, slot pressure, partition misses, reservation drift, attribution gaps, telemetry issues, and the remediation packets needed before forecast, chargeback, or optimization windows slip.

Analytics Engineering

Scan-efficiency recovery

Query scans and partition misses are both active, so workload efficiency is not ready for sign-off.

Partition filter fixes and query rewrites still need to land on the highest-cost workloads.

Slot-governance repair

Reservation pressure is still too high during peak analytics windows.

Reservation rebalance and queue-mitigation work have not completed.

Attribution cleanup

Label hygiene can clear once the remaining unowned scheduled-query paths are mapped.

Two cost-center mappings are still missing from the finance reporting project.

Telemetry restoration

Telemetry freshness is recoverable in one optimization cycle.

Usage export partitions must replay before the next cost review window.
