Governance Scorecards

Governance scorecards provide a FinOps maturity score for each subscription in your organization. Scores are calculated automatically and give teams a clear, objective measure of how well they are managing cloud costs.

Each scorecard is composed of four equally weighted components:

• Tagging compliance (25%) — percentage of resources with required tags applied
• Commitment coverage (25%) — percentage of eligible spend covered by reservations or savings plans
• Waste percentage (25%) — proportion of spend identified as idle or underutilized
• Budget adherence (25%) — how closely actual spend tracks to the defined budget

A background worker automatically recalculates scores every 24 hours. Each component is scored from 0 to 100, and the final score is the weighted average of all four components. No manual input is required — CostBeacon pulls the data it needs from your connected Azure subscriptions.

• Drive team adoption — share scores with teams to create healthy competition and accountability around cloud cost management
• Identify low-scoring subscriptions — quickly find the subscriptions that need the most attention and focus improvement efforts where they will have the greatest impact

Generate governance reports in PDF or JSON format. Reports include per-subscription scores, component breakdowns, and trend data over time. Use them in executive reviews, FinOps team meetings, or as input to your internal reporting systems.
