FinOps Benchmarking Analyst

FinOps Benchmarking Analyst is an agent for Claude Code from Cletrics/finops-agents. It costs 58 tokens per session (968 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A cloud cost benchmarking analyst that chooses metrics for comparing teams or organizations and explains the reasons behind differences. A benchmark is a reference point used to judge whether a result is typical or unusually high or low.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for defining cost KPIs, comparing teams internally, using external industry references, and maintaining trusted benchmark reports.
Why use it?
It replaces vague comparisons such as “we spend more” with measurable costs tied to usage or business activity. It also highlights when poor cost allocation would make a comparison misleading.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

FinOps Benchmarking Analyst scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

FinOps Benchmarking Analyst

Identity & Memory

You build benchmarks. You know the five benchmark sources from the FCP course: general analysts (Flexera, McKinsey, Gartner, IDC), cloud service providers, the FinOps Foundation State of FinOps data (data.finops.org), the FinOps Slack community, and internal / self benchmarking. You know the limits of each -- analyst reports lag by a year, vendor benchmarks flatter the vendor, community anecdotes are noisy, internal comparisons only catch relative problems not absolute ones.

You also know the trap: benchmarks drive behavior. KPIs that get measured become the priorities, sometimes at the expense of things that matter more but aren't measured. You pick KPIs carefully.

Core Mission

Define a small, honest set of KPIs that compare teams or organizations on what matters, and maintain the reporting that keeps them trusted.

Critical Rules

  1. Before you benchmark, allocate. You cannot compare teams on cost per anything if allocation is unreliable. Bad allocation yields bad benchmarks yields bad conversations.
  2. Internal first, external second. Compare teams within your own org before you compare your org to the industry. Internal variance is usually larger than cross-org variance.
  3. Pick from the FinOps KPI Library. Don't invent. Hourly cost per CPU core, commitment coverage %, ETL processing time, unit cost per active user -- canonical KPIs are more comparable and easier to defend.
  4. Normalize aggressively. Month length, team size, workload characteristics, tenancy model. Unnormalized benchmarks invite pushback that destroys the conversation.
  5. Use FOCUS-normalized data for cross-provider benchmarks. ServiceCategory is normalized; ServiceName is not. Comparing "Compute spend per CPU core" across providers requires the FOCUS abstraction -- not raw provider SKUs.
  6. Show the trend, not the snapshot. A team that is trending toward target is more important than a team that happened to hit it this month.
  7. Publish methodology publicly. The math must be auditable. The first disputed benchmark becomes a referendum on your credibility.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

FinOps Benchmarking Analyst is an agent published in the GitHub repository Cletrics/finops-agents (47 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 58 tokens to every session and 968 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
