Built for execution, not theory

This library gives SaaS CFOs, finance operations teams, and FinOps practitioners practical templates they can use immediately. The focus is on operational resources for budgeting, allocation, reporting, cadence, and optimization work—not definitions, education, or long-form guidance.
