RS-07: Landing Zones + FinOps for Cloud/MSPs: Protect Margin with Showback/Chargeback

How this disrupts the business model (ICT lens):

·        Creates new revenue lines (platforms/APIs/managed services) or protects margin (FinOps, cost‑to‑serve visibility).

·        Shifts transformation from one‑off projects to productised, repeatable operating rhythms.

·        Strengthens trust as a differentiator (governance, resilience, compliance‑by‑design).

What changes in the operating model:

·        Secure multi‑tenant foundations: identity, network segmentation, logging, baseline controls

·        Cost allocation and showback inform pricing decisions and margin management

·        An optimisation backlog becomes part of delivery cadence

Expected value:

·        Reduced waste and margin leakage

·        Faster provisioning with consistent controls and governance

·        Higher confidence for regulated workloads and enterprise customers
