Key points
- For a smart report an admin picks a team, a date range and the products; Claude analyses a sample of the team's transcripts and groups the work into workstreams.
- A pooled group budget gives a group one shared monthly budget; a member stops at whichever limit runs out first. Billing admins get alerts at 50%, 75%, 95% and 100%.
- Availability varies by configuration, including HIPAA configurations and customer-managed encryption keys. Anthropic says smart reports are not for evaluating individual performance.

What it means for you
Our viewIf you administer Claude Enterprise, first check whether your configuration receives all three features, because Anthropic says availability varies for HIPAA and customer-managed key setups.
Smart reports show spend by workstream, the deliverables produced and common friction such as a missing connector, which can inform where a limit should rise. Anthropic says they are not for evaluating individual performance or making employment decisions, so write that rule into your own policy before sharing them.
Before you set a pooled budget, decide who receives the alerts and who reviews requests for more.
