Big record labels and FinOps practitioners make the same mistake

A framework helps people think. A system helps people operate FinOps has a framework, and that matters. But frameworks guide attention. A field matures when more people can start from the same core instead of rebuilding the practice each time.

Each new company still forces FinOps practitioners to begin again We need more stability.

My notes from the FinOps X day London 2026. In not particular order.
