In 2–4 weeks, know what your AI costs, what it's worth, and who owns every decision — with a board-ready report and a clear set of actions.
A fixed-fee assessment that turns scattered AI spend into an owned, governed portfolio. It runs entirely out-of-band from your billing exports — no production access, no integration project. It is designed to identify recoverable and reassignable spend.
You send your AI / cloud provider billing exports. No production access, no integration.
We attribute spend to processes and owners, score the portfolio, and build the recommendations.
A board-ready report and a 60-90 minute readout with a prioritized, owned action list.
Built for the CFO, CIO, and Head of AI — the executives now asked what AI is costing, what it's delivering, and who owns it. The audit gives each of them a defensible, board-ready answer.
AI costs are spread across teams, providers, and projects, with no business case and no clear owner. Finance can't attribute it, the Head of AI can't defend it, and the board can't tell whether it's controlled. Without ownership, spend grows and value stays invisible.
Your AI spend mapped to business processes and named owners.
Every AI system scored on cost, risk, waste, and accountability.
A clear disposition for each system.
Every recommendation assigned an owner, a sponsor, and a review-by date.
Opportunities to reduce or reallocate, labelled as estimates.
A CFO-ready PDF and a prioritized action list, with a 60–90 min executive readout.
You leave the audit knowing what each AI system costs, what it's worth, and who is accountable for it — plus a ranked set of decisions your board and your teams can act on this quarter. It's the first step into continuous AI governance, not a one-off report.
No production access. No integration project.
Duration: 2–4 weeks. Method: out-of-band — we work from your provider billing exports only. No production systems, no inline integration, no agents touched. Effort on your side: minimal — exports and a short working session.
A single fixed fee, agreed up front, with no open-ended consulting. If you move to a TrustedAIGov platform subscription, the audit fee is credited against your year-one subscription.
The audit is designed to identify recoverable and reassignable spend. Estimates are modelled, not guaranteed; realised savings are confirmed after adoption in the FinOps ledger. We agree the deliverables and the fee before we start — no surprises — and the fee converts into platform value if you continue.
Looking for advisory, implementation, or ISO 42001 / EU AI Act consulting instead of the platform? That's delivered by our advisory practice at trustedaigov.ai ↗.
No. FinOps tells you a number. We tell you what each AI system costs, who owns it, what to do about it, and prove it's governed — cost is the entry point to governance, not the product.
No. The audit runs entirely out-of-band from your billing exports — no production systems, no inline integration, no agents touched.
Two to four weeks, from kickoff to executive readout.
Your AI / cloud provider billing exports (OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure, Bedrock) and a short session to confirm owners and business processes.
You receive a board-ready report and action plan. If you continue to the platform, the fixed audit fee is credited against your year-one subscription.
