Spend from this warehouse cannot be attributed to a team or product, so it lands in an unallocated bucket nobody owns.

Explain
Every finding says exactly what to change: Add cost-allocation tags to the warehouse.
Fix
The finding opens with the fix already written out, step by step, so it is one ticket, not an investigation.
- Applies to
- Snowflake Warehouse on Snowflake
- The fix, by hand
- Define a tagging standard if your org doesn't have one. Team, cost_center, environment are the standard three.
- Create the tag schema (one-time): CREATE TAG IF NOT EXISTS ZOPNIGHT_TAGS.team;.
- Apply per warehouse: ALTER WAREHOUSE the resource SET TAG ZOPNIGHT_TAGS.team = '‹team›';.
- Repeat for cost_center and environment.
- Enforce on creation via tag-based policies so new warehouses inherit the tags from a parent object.
These are the steps the finding carries in the product.
- Category
- Governance. Missing tags and labels that break cost attribution, such as no environment, team or cost-centre value.
