I want to come up with an infrastructure for tracking cost and ascribing it to issues.

Here is the basic idea. Let's have a ledger of cost, like monthly costs for

  • hosteurope server instance to run on 10€/month
  • bubble.io plan 32€/month
  • coulomb.social domain 5€/month
  • claude code plan 20€/month
  • gemini plan for specification support 20€/month

Obviously one can also register one-time cost.

Cost shows up as soon as it is registered and is calculated as follows

  • relevance of a cost ticket is from its starting_from_date attribute
  • if cost started in the past (before current period of calculation) old cost increases LossCarriedForward

At the end of each calculation period cumulated cost will be devided by count of active (new and modified) issues and reduces the valuation of those issues.

We will not only track the resulting balance for the issue but keep record of transaction data.

Starting from this idea (epic) a gameplan is to be generated the elements to implement should be created as issues.
