Cowork Chargeback ↗

Turn your Cowork consumption and org exports into a finance-ready, invoice-reconciled chargeback — per cost center and per person, in dollars. Full-consumption or overage basis, dynamic cut-by, and CSV exports.

Analytics Hub · cowork-chargeback

Cowork ROI Model ↗

Interactive value model with no tenant payload. Enter your own task counts and assumptions; only research-based minutes-per-task defaults are preloaded by category.

Analytics Hub · cowork-roi-model

Cowork Policy Helper ↗

Govern Cowork spend by policy — assign users to spend-tier billing policies by attribute, review the exception queue, and export a point-in-time record of who is on which policy.

FinOps & FOCUS cost report ↗

See the same Cowork credit consumption as a FinOps Framework & FOCUS-aligned cost view — List / Contracted / Effective / Billed cost, showback & chargeback allocation, and rate optimization.

Cowork Usage Tracker ↗

Cowork exports are point-in-time snapshots — upload them over time and this tool reconstructs the missing trend: per-department deltas, run-rate forecast, pool-exhaustion date, dynamic slice-by, and a “what to act on” signals panel. XLSX & deck export.

Where do I get these files?

Each browser app above runs on two CSV exports you already own — nothing is uploaded, everything is parsed locally in your browser:

  1. Entra user export(s) — in the Microsoft Entra admin center, open Identity → Users → All users and choose Download users. This CSV carries the org attributes (Department, Cost Center, Job title, etc.) used to allocate cost and group people.
  2. Copilot credit / Cost Management export — in the Microsoft 365 admin center, go to Copilot → Cost management → Consumption and choose Export CSV. It just needs one row per user with the credits they consumed.

Column names are auto-detected, so most export layouts work as-is. The Power BI report & template uses the same two sources.
