Cost Estimation
Estimate AI costs based on: user count, queries per user per day, average tokens per query, model mix (% premium vs. lightweight), and provider pricing. Includes formulas for each calculation.
Allocation Models
Three allocation approaches: equal (same budget per department), proportional (budget by headcount), and value-based (budget by expected ROI). Worksheet includes templates for each model.
Budget Controls
Configure: hard cap per department, alert thresholds (75%, 90%), auto-stop logic, rollover policies, and emergency increase procedures. Map each control to platform settings.
ROI Tracking
Monthly ROI tracking template: AI costs, time savings (hours × hourly rate), quality improvements (error reduction × cost per error), and incident prevention (risk reduction × potential cost). Net ROI formula with worked examples.
