### Showback or chargeback?

Showback = consumption transparency. Chargeback = internal billing with allocation rules — out of current product scope (P3 backlog).

### Where do costs come from?

Timesheet hours × daily rates (internal/external) as of date. Methodology is shown on the report.

### Can I compare to the previous period?

Yes. Enable N-1 compare for day/cost deltas per BU and in the Excel export.
