Cost flow

Cost flow is a diagram showing how spend splits across four groupings at once, for example provider to account to resource type to team, with band widths in proportion to cost. ZopNight offers five such layouts, and clicking any part narrows the view. Why it matters: It shows where money goes and who owns it in one picture rather than several separate tables.
