What is aI spend audit?
An AI spend audit is an independent, cross-vendor review of what an organization pays for AI and what that spend returns. It inventories seats, tokens, and infrastructure, then prices the waste. Spendassay is buyer-side and grades no vendor's own homework; it targets 10 to 15% of seat and subscription spend as recoverable within 30 days.
Every figure Spendassay publishes about ai spend audit 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.
