FinOpsly Launches Costix, The First Estimator Built for Multi-Cloud, AI, and Data Cost Planning
FinOpsly, the AI-native control system for enterprise cloud, AI, and data costs, today announced the launch of Costix, an AI-powered estimation tool that turns cloud, data and AI initiatives into ready-to-build solution plans with clear cost estimates before anything gets deployed. Costix helps enterprise product, engineering, and pre-sales teams align early by generating a solution blueprint, detailed workload specifications, and a bill of materials with estimated costs to support accurate planning and stronger business cases from the start.
A 2021 Flexera report found that over 30 percent of cloud spend is wasted due to poor planning and limited cost visibility. Despite this loss, most enterprises still rely on spreadsheets and assumptions to estimate costs for new features. These methods often require detailed workload inputs that aren't available early on. Native cloud calculators, though commonly used, are rigid and require granular configurations. They also lack support for multi-environment planning, making it hard to compare options, align teams, or prevent overruns before deployment.
Moving cost planning upstream in the product lifecycle
Costix helps teams move from rough planning and assumptions to concrete, architecture-aligned estimates before a single resource is provisioned.
More accurate solution design
Costix enables product teams to describe what they're building and receive a solution blueprint aligned to internal architecture standards. Costix also provides agentic AI assistance, giving users real-time guidance on things like configuration trade-offs as they scope projects.
Validated specs, faster planning
Costix comes pre-loaded with workload configurations and assumptions—covering compute, storage, and network—so engineers and architects can simply review and validate them across development, testing, and production environments. These inputs reflect actual architecture patterns and live cloud SKU data, enabling faster, more accurate planning while maintaining alignment with performance and compliance goals.
A tailored bill of materials for internal alignment
Costix produces a detailed, contract-aware bill of materials that includes pricing, tagging, and business mappings tailored to the user's organization. Product owners can use these estimates to justify investments, align with procurement and finance, and accelerate internal approvals.
'Cost control is no longer just a cloud problem. It is a systems problem across cloud, data, and AI,' said Kiran Jain, CEO and Co-Founder of FinOpsly. 'We built Costix to give teams a fast, reliable way to plan infrastructure costs upfront, using data they can trust - all in less than five minutes. Every estimate should lead to a decision. Every dollar spent should be traceable, defensible, and actionable. With Costix, we are making that standard possible.'
A growing need for pre-deployment cost visibility
As companies build AI applications, migrate data platforms, and scale cloud workloads, planning becomes harder and more critical. Costix helps teams align earlier, reducing risk and improving collaboration between product, sales, engineering, and finance.
'What sets Costix apart is its ability to turn business inputs into compliant solution designs — not just cost projections — giving teams a launch-ready blueprint from day one,' said Mueen Delvi, CTO and Co-Founder of FinOpsly.

Citi raises gold forecast to $3,500/oz over next 3 months on negative US outlook
(Reuters) -Citi raised its gold price forecast over next three months to $3,500 per ounce on Monday from $3,300, and the expected trading range to $3,300–$3,600 from $3,100–$3,500, on the belief that near-term U.S. growth and inflation outlook has deteriorated. "U.S. growth and tariff-related inflation concerns are set to remain elevated during 2H'25, which alongside a weaker dollar, are set to drive gold moderately higher, to new all-time highs" the bank said. Last week, U.S. President Donald Trump imposed steep tariffs on exports from dozens of trading partners, including Canada, Brazil, India and Taiwan. The tariffs imposed last week on scores of countries are likely to stay in place rather than be cut as part of continuing negotiations, Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said on CBS show "Face the Nation" aired on Sunday. Last week, the dollar weakened after nonfarm payrolls increasing by 73,000 jobs last month, after rising by a downwardly revised 14,000 in June, which revived hopes of a Fed rate cut in September, with markets now pricing in an 81% chance, per CME FedWatch tool Citi also highlights weaker U.S. labor data in second quarter of 2025, institutional credibility concerns have increased regarding the Federal Reserve and US statistics, and elevated geopolitical risks related to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Gold, traditionally considered a safe-haven asset during political and economic uncertainties, tends to thrive in a low-interest-rate environment. Citi estimates gross gold demand has risen over one-third since mid-2022, nearly doubling prices by second quarter of 2025. The strength in gold demand was driven by strong investment demand, moderate central bank buying and resilient jewellery demand despite higher prices, the bank added. Spot gold was trading at $3,356.88/oz at 0340 GMT on Monday. [GOL/] Sign in to access your portfolio

FBI warns of a particular scam involving QR codes
Scammers are increasingly exploiting QR codes to trick people into revealing financial information or installing malicious software on their devices. The FBI has recently issued a warning about a particular type of scam involving QR codes on packages delivered to people who didn't order them. Recommended Videos The scammers are clearly playing on our curious nature, with the appearance of an innocent-looking QR code likely to tempt at least some people to scan it to find out more about the mystery package they've just received. But this could take you on a journey where you end up being tricked into handing over personal details such as financial information, or downloading malware that could pull data from your phone. 'While this scam is not as widespread as other fraud schemes, the public should be aware of this criminal activity,' the FBI said. The agency said the activity is a variation of the so-called 'brushing scam' where online sellers send you unordered items so that it can use your name to post fake reviews to boost the product's rating. 'In a traditional brushing scam, online vendors send merchandise to an unsolicited recipient and then use the recipient's information to post a positive review of the product,' the FBI explained, adding that in this latest variation, 'scam actors have incorporated the use of QR codes on packages to facilitate financial fraud activities.' The FBI is imploring people to beware of delivered packages that they didn't order, and to avoid scanning QR codes from unknown origins. The agency's warning comes at a time when QR codes are being increasingly used in scams besides those involving unsolicited packages. QR codes are being used increasingly by criminals, mainly because of their growing presence in everyday life. It means scammers are even sticking fake codes over legitimate ones, so you need to be on your guard when you hold your phone over one, especially when you're out and about. The New York Department of Transportation, for example, recently alerted drivers to a scam where criminals were sticking QR codes on parking meters. The code directed anyone who scanned it to a third-party webpage asking for credit card information. These days, most phone cameras automatically recognize QR codes and, unless you've turned off the setting, show you the web address that you'll land on if you tap it to proceed. So even with codes that you think you can trust, take a moment to read that address before going ahead. As for QR codes stuck on packages that you didn't order, just ignore them entirely.
