Shared platform costs are not yet allocated to each cost center because leadership intentionally funds them centrally for now. Which official term best describes this early FinOps approach?

Question

Accepted Answer

A. Informed ignore. The Allocation guidance says many early FinOps practices adopt an informed ignore approach for some shared costs, explicitly deciding to budget them centrally instead of allocating them out. The key idea is that the choice is deliberate and documented. Option b is wrong because driver-based forecasting is a forecasting method, not a shared-cost allocation term.
