For the CFO

Treat AI like every other capital allocation.

AI spend is growing faster than any other line item, and is the only one without proper budgeting, approval or ROI proof. Fideria closes that gap.

Kill
Capital, recognised
Every euro casts a shadow. Fideria makes it measurable.

AI spend stops being an aggregation of invoices and starts behaving like capital, budgeted, approved, monitored against a thesis, killed when it doesn't return. One ledger. One owner. One number you can defend.

Where AI is leaking money today
No single owner
Costs sit inside SaaS subscriptions, cloud bills, agency invoices and individual credit cards.
ROI is asserted, not measured
Pilots get extended because no one defined what success was supposed to look like.
Funding by slide deck
Decisions happen in PowerPoint, then nobody tracks whether the assumptions held.
Audit committee pressure
Boards now ask CFOs to defend AI investments at the same level as capex.
What Fideria does for you
01
Unified AI spend ledger
Every AI cost, SaaS, inference, build, advisory, rolled up by initiative, owner, business unit and model provider. Reconciled, not estimated.
02
Decision packets
Business case, assumptions, success criteria, expected value, risk class, one format, reviewable in minutes, not days.
03
Approval workflow
Stage-gated approvals from pilot → scale → production. Re-justify funding at each gate against what actually shipped.
04
Honest ROI
Adoption, outcome metrics and realized value monitored against the original business case. Kill what's not working, double down on what is.
What you get out
  • One number for the board: total AI spend, realized value, net contribution this quarter.
  • An audit trail that ties every euro spent to a decision, an owner and an outcome.
  • Confidence to defend AI investments in the audit committee.
  • A clear answer to "should we keep funding this?", backed by data, not vibes.
