Why FinOps still lives in Excel
FinOps still lives in Excel not because tools are weak, but because the discipline lacks mandatory, GAAP-like standards. Without set in stone standardsthere is not much to build on. Until the foundation stabilises, wide adjustments are needed, and maturity stays out of reach.
