A single AI spend view is pulling against the evidence required to trust it.
Finance needs comparable costs for renewals, while Security Engineering protects tenant isolation and role-based access.
Who you’d be doing this for
“Finance asked why Cursor and OpenAI totals changed overnight, and I had no answer they could use.”
Eirik Bakken · IT Security Manager
Owns the SaaS and AI application inventory and must give finance a governed view of AI consumption.
What is at stake
AI spend totals differ across vendor dashboards after a normalization change. You must weigh a comparable renewal view against evidence strong enough to protect tenant and access boundaries.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- renewal urgency vs. verification depth
- comparable spend vs. vendor-specific fidelity
- finance visibility vs. access-boundary assurance
- historical consistency vs. reversible change
