AI Cost Governance & FinOps

Govern what people and AI cost, on one ledger

Put a cost governance layer over your AI and your people. Attribute every token and every hour to the project and decision that drove it, set budgets that warn before they break, and see total cost of work across human labor and AI on a single ledger.

Challenges We Solve

Governance gaps that structured controls and audit trails eliminate.

AI Spend With No Owner

Provider invoices arrive as one lump sum with no idea which team, agent, or project drove the cost. Attribute every token by provider, model, agent, user, and project so spend always has an owner.

Budgets You Find Out About Too Late

By the time finance sees the overage, the money is gone. Set budgets that warn at thresholds, throttle to lower-cost models, then block before spend runs away.

People Cost And AI Cost In Separate Worlds

Labor lives in the HRIS and AI lives on a provider bill, so no one can answer what a project actually costs. Combine human labor cost and AI spend per project on one ledger.

Shadow AI And Silent Overruns

Ungoverned model calls and runaway agents surface only in next month's bill. Detect anomalous per-team and per-feature spend and reconcile billed cost against what was actually governed.

Use Cases

Real governance scenarios powered by DecisionLedger.

CFO / VP Finance

Tracks total cost of work per project by combining HRIS labor cost with attributed AI spend, and sees cost per decision and AI spend as a percent of revenue in one place.

Defensible unit economics across people and AI

FinOps / Platform Lead

Sets budgets per team and agent with threshold warnings and hard blocks, and uses anomaly detection to catch shadow AI spend before it hits the invoice.

Stopped runaway AI spend before the bill arrived

Head of AI / Engineering

Reviews per-model and per-agent cost against outcome effectiveness to retire low-value spend and route work to the most cost-effective model that meets the quality bar.

Lower cost per decision with quality held constant

Measurable Impact

Based on platform benchmarks across early adopters.

Platform Features

One Ledger for the Cost of Work

FinOps and cost governance for AI-assisted work, where human labor cost and AI spend finally live in the same place.

Cost Attribution

Meter AI spend by provider, model, agent, user, and project, and roll labor cost in from your HRIS, so every cost has an owner.

Budget Enforcement

Budgets that warn at thresholds, throttle to lower-cost models, then block before spend runs away, with separate labor and AI envelopes.

Unit Economics

Cost per decision, AI spend as a percent of revenue, and total cost of work per project, ready for finance and the board.

Featured Models

Pre-built decision models ready to run with your data.

Analytics Cost Optimizer

Attributes compute and storage spend to products, teams, and workloads across the data stack. Identifies biggest cost drivers and recommends query tuning, schedule changes, caching, and tiering.

Cost-Benefit NPV

Budget Variance Attribution

Budget variance attribution analysis

Cost-Benefit NPV

People Cost

Projects total compensation and benefit costs across the workforce. Calculates fully-loaded employee costs, applies planned raises by department, prorates new hires, and applies inflation to produce monthly and annual cost forecasts with department-level breakdowns.

Cost-Benefit NPV

Variance Bridge

Decomposes revenue and EBITDA variances into price, volume, mix, and FX effects with waterfall chart data generation, cost bridge for EBITDA walk, custom bridge items, and segment-level detail for board-ready variance explanations.

Cost-Benefit NPV

AI Cost Attribution Anomaly

Detects anomalous per-team or per-feature LLM spend.

Anomaly Detection

Human-in-the-Loop Efficacy

Measures whether HITL checkpoints actually change outcomes versus rubber-stamping.

Bayesian Inference

How It Works

Three steps to structured, auditable decisions.

Attribute Every Cost

Meter AI spend by provider, model, agent, user, and project, and pull labor cost from your HRIS. Every token and every hour maps to the project and decision that drove it.

Budget & Enforce

Set budgets per team, project, or agent with separate labor and AI envelopes. Spend that crosses a threshold warns, throttles to a lower-cost model, or is blocked before it runs away.

Optimize & Report

Surface cost per decision, AI spend as a percent of revenue, and total cost of work across people and AI. Detect anomalies, recover shadow spend, and report unit economics to finance and the board.

Replace Your Stack

When AI spend spikes, can you say which team, model, and project caused it, and what it cost you per decision, or do you wait for the invoice?
