What Fideria customers typically claw back in the first 12 months
Peer benchmark: $520/employee/yrIn line
Top recommendations
- 1.Set a monthly budget per team with alerts at 80% and 100%. Soft budgets cut spend faster than hard limits because they protect adoption.
- 2.Tie spend to outcomes. Initiatives with a logged value delivered keep their budget; initiatives without one get re-justified or cut at the next quarterly review.
Estimates use published 2025 provider pricing and enterprise adoption benchmarks. Your real spend depends on prompt patterns, caching, and model routing — that's exactly what Fideria measures on your data.
Why your AI bill is bigger than it should be
Shadow accounts
Employees expense personal ChatGPT and Claude subscriptions. Finance sees the line items, security has no idea what's leaving the building.
No attribution
Your OpenAI bill is one number. You can't tell which team, which initiative, or which API key drove it — so you can't decide what to cut.
ROI is missing
AI spend has no business case attached. When the CFO asks what the $2M returned, the answer is a vibe, not a number.
Unpredictable burn
Token usage spikes 5× overnight after a prompt change. By the time finance notices, you've burned the quarter's budget.
How Fideria closes the gap
01
Connect every provider
OpenAI, Anthropic, Microsoft Copilot, Gemini, plus your own gateway. One ledger, reconciled daily — not estimated from invoices.
02
Attribute every dollar
Rules map each user, API key and tag to a team and an initiative. The grey blob becomes a P&L by initiative, owner and business unit.
03
Budgets that protect adoption
Soft budgets per team and initiative with alerts at 80% and 100%. Sponsors get nudged before they overshoot — no hard cut-offs that kill momentum.
04
Cost per outcome
Initiatives carry both their spend and the value they've returned. The board sees ROI per initiative — and which ones to kill.
