A few minor suggestions, but otherwise looks good!

| Threshold | Alert when costs exceed a set value. | Set alerts when today's total cost exceeds $10,000. |
| Forecast | Alert if forecasted costs will exceed your budget. | Alert daily if the forecasted cost for this month is projected to exceed $500. |

| Monitor Type | Cost Metric based | Purpose | Example |
