Built for the AWS bills the dashboards gave up on.
At 20, 200, or 2,000 linked accounts, generic FinOps tools start to wheeze and AWS-native dashboards cap out. Kaizen is built for that scale.
Three places everything else slows down.
Volume
AWS Cost Explorer caps at 14M rows and slows long before that. Kaizen runs on DuckDB — sub-second across millions of CUR line items.
Workflow
Legacy FinOps platforms allocate. They do not invoice. Kaizen does both, with billing groups and a configurable conductor.
Intelligence
Bolt-on AI chats hallucinate over generic FinOps trivia. Kai is grounded in your line items, your allocation rules, and your inventory.
