What is Audit?

Audit (/audit) is the receipt. Hero: The books, balanced. It is not a Profile tab. Sections: AI ($) · User Canister · Backend (admin) · Agents. Faces: Dashboard · Ledger. Period: 1H · 24H · 7D · 30D · All · Custom.

What it is not

It does not add fuel or upgrade a plan. Not Gas Station. Not Pricing. Not Finance. Not Profile → Usage (that ledger is a different slice).

Audit (/audit) is this account's spend ledger — cycles, AI spend, and credits by period. It is not Finance (staff console) and not Gas Station (the hosting pump).

Per-period resource audit: cycles, AI spend, credits. Use it when a run's cost should match what left the balance.

User journeys

AU-01. Open Audit

Path: Module switcher → Audit · /audit

You do:

  1. Sign in with the Kontext chooser.
  2. Open Audit from the module switcher.
  3. Pick a period and read cycles, AI spend, and credits.

Result: You see this account's spend ledger, not the staff Finance console.

AU-02. Tell Audit from Finance and Gas Station

Path: /audit vs /finance vs /gas-station

You do:

  1. Open Audit when you want to check whether a run's cost matches what left your balance.
  2. Open Gas Station when a canister needs fuel (cycles / hosting pump).
  3. Open Finance only if you are platform staff — it is the operator console, not your owner ledger.
  4. If a balance warning names AI credits vs hosting credits, treat those as separate buckets (see Account & settings).

Result: You pick the right money screen. Audit explains what ran; Gas Station fuels hosting; Finance is for operators.

AU-03. Read Audit by surface

Path: /audit · AI / User canister / Backend / Agents · Dashboard or Ledger

You do:

  1. Open Audit.
  2. Pick a period.
  3. Switch the surface: AI spend, User canister cycles, Backend, or Agents.
  4. Use Dashboard for the glance and Ledger for the line items.
  5. Read coverage notes — a thin period is a thin period, not a zero bill.

Result: You see what ran on which surface. This is still not Finance and not Gas Station.

How it works

Route /audit. Resource and spend accounting: cycles, AI dollars, credits, per period. This is the owner's ledger of what ran — not Finance (staff console) and not Gas Station (the pump).

Benefits

Who it's for

Primary: owners watching credit and cycle spend. Not: platform finance operators (use Finance Management).
