Solo founders assemble models, coding agents, hosting, and media APIs across providers whose billing views do not explain which customer, feature, or task created the spend. A runaway loop can consume the budget before a weekly invoice reveals it. The opening is a founder-sized control that joins real-time cost, outcome attribution, hard caps, and call evidence across the stack.
