Applied AI & AI Cost Governance
Put AI where it saves hours, and know what it will cost
AI is now sold three ways at once: per seat, per use and as add-ons to tools you already own. That makes the real cost hard to see. I help you pick the use cases worth paying for and set up the guardrails that keep spend predictable.
The problem
What usually brings people to this page
Everyone has an AI license and nobody uses it
Access is not adoption. We start from the work your team does every day and match AI to the steps that eat the most time.
The AI bill is hard to predict
Usage-based pricing grows with every prompt and every automated call. We model the cost at today's volume and at double it before you sign.
Every vendor says their AI is best
I compare the options side by side against your use cases, with no product of my own to push.
What you get
What the engagement includes
- An inventory of the AI tools and add-ons you already pay for
- Three to five use cases ranked by hours saved and difficulty
- A cost model covering seats, usage and add-ons at current and projected volume
- Guardrails: who can turn on what, spending alerts and review points
- Vendor selection and rollout oversight for the chosen use cases
What is AI cost governance?
It is a set of simple rules and reports that keep AI spending tied to results: who can enable paid AI features, what usage is expected, where alerts fire and when a tool gets reviewed or cut.
Do you build AI tools?
No. I help you choose and roll out tools from established providers, and I stay involved through implementation so the plan survives contact with real users.
Where should a small business start?
Usually with the phones and email. AI call answering and call summaries are low-risk, easy to measure and often included in plans you can switch to for a similar price.
