¶ Why COGScontrol

The financial infrastructure to scale AI profitably.

Traditional cloud cost tools weren't designed for AI workloads. COGScontrol gives you the financial intelligence required to manage unit economics across your entire inference supply chain — from token to P&L line item, with the resolution finance expects.

§ II
The instrument panel

Six primitives that turn spend into signal.

001

Inference supply chain visibility

Unified cost data across OpenAI, Anthropic, AWS Bedrock, Azure OpenAI, and Vertex AI. One view of your fully-loaded AI COGS.

Core
002

Intelligent classification

Automatically categorize costs by Cost Center, Product Line, Project, and more. Create rules that classify spending as it happens.

Core
003

Dimension-based budgets

Set budgets on any dimension — by team, product, project, or environment. Get real-time alerts before you exceed limits.

Control
004

Unit economics engine

Map AI costs to revenue, users, and transactions. Calculate cost-per-interaction, cost-per-customer, and AI-attributed gross margin in real time.

Core
005

Custom dashboards

Build dashboards with 8+ chart types. Share with your team, pin favorites, and set up scheduled reports.

Reporting
006

Margin leakage protection

Get alerted when unit costs drift outside expected bounds. Catch margin erosion from model changes, prompt bloat, or usage spikes before they hit your P&L.

Intelligence
§ III
How it works

From black-box AI spend to board-ready financial intelligence.

Step 01 · Connect

Connect your inference supply chain.

Securely ingest cost data from all your AI and cloud providers. Data syncs automatically within minutes — providers normalize to one schema and reconcile to invoice.

Step 02 · Classify & Attribute

Map every token to a business outcome.

By product, feature, customer, or team. Our classification engine builds your AI cost of goods sold automatically — rules apply retroactively, with a full audit trail.

Step 03 · Measure value, not just cost

Track unit economics in real time.

Run variance analysis and surface margin leakage before it reaches your P&L. The questions a CFO actually asks — answered with the math attached.

§ IV
The questions you can't answer today

Until now.

For the CFO
What is our fully-loaded AI Cost of Goods Sold? Are our AI-enabled features diluting our aggregate gross margin, or are we achieving economies of scale?
COGScontrol delivers real-time variance analysis against plan, so you can explain AI cost movements in terms the board and investors understand.
For the CTO
Which features across our inference supply chain are driving unit costs up? Is our RAG pipeline more expensive per resolution than the human process it replaced?
COGScontrol maps every token to a business outcome — by product, feature, or team — with outcome-based attribution across all providers.
For the CEO
How do I prove to the board that our AI initiatives are creating value, not just generating expense? What's the ROI of each AI agent we've deployed?
COGScontrol provides continuous unit economics visibility and AI ROI measurement, replacing month-end scrambles with durable financial intelligence.
