How we deliver it
Confirm up to three AI products or three initiatives and collect 90 days of client exports.
Interview up to two process/finance owners and reconcile available spend and usage.
Check benefit evidence; distinguish useful capacity, potential savings and realised cash savings.
Prepare stop, fix, scale or renewal recommendations with assumptions and conditions.
Review findings with the budget owner and hand over the ledger and decision memo.
How you will know it is complete
- Every reported spend line is traceable to supplied data or an explicit assumption.
- Benefits have an evidence status and do not double-count capacity and revenue.
- Each reviewed product or initiative receives a recommendation and owner action.
Why it is worth the fee
- Decision it enables
- Decide what to renew, stop, fix or expand.
- How to measure value
- Track cost per active user or cost per completed task; separately track spend removed after client-approved changes.
- Starting evidence
- Use the agreed 90-day cost and usage period; state data gaps and comparison assumptions.
- Who tracks it, and when
- Finance or procurement owner; client validates realised savings after renewal or cancellation.
These are proposed follow-up measures. The fee covers the listed advisory outputs; realised benefits depend on implementation.
