AI Economics
Three linked questions most AI programs can't answer. I help clients answer all three — on numbers that survive scrutiny.
What does it cost to run?
FINOPS FOR AI
Inference costs scale with usage, not seats. Cost visibility, unit economics, and controls that keep the run-rate honest. FinOps for AI certified.
What is it worth?
ROI ATTRIBUTION
Value claims built on defensible baselines and counterfactuals — attribution a CFO will sign, not a slide the board politely ignores.
What should you charge?
OUTCOME-BASED PRICING
Price the outcome, not the effort. Pricing that captures the value AI creates — instead of giving it away in the rate card.
"An AI program that can't state its cost, its worth, and its price isn't a strategy — it's a line item waiting to be cut."
