Compare what AI costs

Bring contracts, usage bills, and model charges together, then compare the cost of the work they support.

The records behind the decision

See a team's AI costs beside its work.

AI costs can sit in a seat contract, a provider invoice.

What did each team's AI cost, and what did it buy?

One month
OximyOximy puts one month of charges on one basis, then allocates them to teams and to completed work.

Proposed actionLeave the remainder open

$9,100 of the month is shared or unowned, twelve percent of the total, and no record supports assigning it to a team. Marketing has no agreed completed unit, so its month stops at the team total.

Agree a completed unit with Marketing

Shared credentials, missing ownership and unfinished work can each prevent a supported allocation.

How to read the evidence

Each cost view answers a different question.

Cost per assigned seat helps with a renewal.

What belongs inside the cost?

Agree whether the question is direct AI spend or a broader operating cost. Licences, usage, infrastructure and review effort should not drift in and out of the calculation between months.

Which cost view answers the question?

Cost per seat helps a renewal, cost per team sets a budget line, and cost per completed unit compares the work. None of the three is a substitute for the others.

UnallocatedOne month

Shared credentials and missing ownership, kept outside the four teams.

Where does the unallocated remainder go?

Show it. Agree an allocation rule where the evidence supports one, and keep the unsupported remainder separate rather than spreading it across teams to make a neat total.
