Know what the billing covers
Review provider, account, service, region, reporting period, credits, discounts, currency, and source completeness. Daily views depend on the source’s coverage and refresh timing.
FINOPS FOR AI ASSESSMENT
See what AI costs, who owns it, and which choices deserve a closer look.
Connect cloud billing and usage with allocation, unit economics, budgets, and provider options—so finance and engineering can make decisions from the same cost picture.
Bring your evidenceDefine scope and source material.
Review and assessConnect records to the agreed criteria.
Act with clarityPrioritize findings with accountable owners.
A DECISION-READY COST PICTURE
Connect cloud spend to the work it supports.
Bring billing, usage, ownership, and business output into one review so finance and engineering can see what is measured, what is modeled, and what deserves attention.
Assign costs to teams and products
Review allocation by department, application, project, environment, and owner. Make shared or unassigned costs visible instead of hiding the allocation assumptions.
Measure the unit that matters
Compare spend with an agreed output measure, such as cost per successful request, job, transaction, or other business unit supported by available data.
OPTIONS FOR REVIEW
Compare optimization paths before committing.
Model alternatives against the workload, source data, service needs, and contract terms. AICS does not make purchases or change cloud resources from the assessment.
Use less and right-size
Review idle capacity, oversized resources, unused licenses, and workload placement or timing.
Pay-as-you-go or commitment
Compare on-demand costs with client-provided reserved or committed offers, including term, utilization, upfront fees, and uncovered usage.
Storage and volume pricing
Compare storage tiers, retrieval and request charges, retention, egress, and provider volume or tiered pricing.
Match usage to time
Review usage-based, time-based, or interruptible capacity options only where workload and recovery requirements support them.
Compare providers for one workload
Compare AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or another provider using the same workload, usage, term, and quote assumptions supplied for review.
WHAT YOUR TEAM RECEIVES
A practical view of spend, efficiency, and next decisions.
The review brings evidence into a concise decision path for finance, engineering, product, and procurement.
- Billing coverage and reporting-period limits
- Spend by provider, service, team, or application where the source supports it
- Budget, forecast, and unit-cost comparisons with visible assumptions
- Optimization options with an owner, evidence needed, and next step
Direct billing connections depend on supported provider integrations. Client billing exports can be reviewed where an API connection is unavailable. Modeled scenarios use the supplied rates and assumptions; they are not guaranteed savings.
COST, USAGE, OWNERSHIP
