Wave 14 · Data, Reporting & FinOps Operations BigQuery / FinOps / query-cost proof Synthetic project, reservation, and workload exports

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.

Overview Query Lane Cost Risks Optimization Posture Verification Docs

Commercial Front Door

BigQuery query-cost governance and workload optimization operations for platform, finance, and analytics teams.
Audit-safe visibility into bytes-scanned spikes, reservation pressure, telemetry gaps, and attribution hygiene without exposing live credentials.

Proof Layer

Offline analyzer + CLI + dashboard surface.
This repo includes a reusable analyzer that reads query-cost snapshots and drift exports and turns them into severity, owner, and optimization packets.

Why it matters

Recruiters looking for BigQuery / FinOps / data platform should see real query-cost work: scan containment, slot governance, attribution hygiene, and export continuity.

Query Lane

owner · focus · next action

Lane	Owner	Focus	Status	Findings	Next action
Scan efficiency lane High-value workloads are scanning more data than the budget envelope expects.	Analytics Engineering	Bytes scanned, partition discipline, and wide-read regression control	red	2	Restore partition filters and tune the hotspot queries before the next executive refresh cycle.
Slot governance lane Reservation contention and underuse are both weakening slot efficiency.	Data Platform	Reservation pressure, queue health, and right-sizing posture	red	3	Rebalance reservations and reduce queue pressure on the busiest analytics paths.
Attribution hygiene lane Unlabeled query-cost paths are reducing showback trust.	FinOps Operations	Labels, chargeback trust, and finance-facing visibility	yellow	1	Backfill labels and enforce owner tagging on scheduled query workflows.
Telemetry freshness lane Telemetry and export freshness need cleanup before query-cost posture can be called healthy.	Data Platform	Billing exports, usage extracts, and optimization evidence freshness	yellow	6	Restore export freshness and validate downstream cost-governance feeds.
