What is aI FinOps?
AI FinOps is the practice of measuring and attributing AI spending across seat subscriptions, API tokens, and infrastructure, so finance and engineering share one view of cost and value. It extends cloud FinOps to AI's mix of per-seat and metered pricing. Spendassay runs the audit side, surfacing and pricing recoverable waste.
Every figure Spendassay publishes about ai finops carries a proof level saying how much guessing sits behind it, and opens to show the rows it was computed from. The full method is on the methodology page.
