Prove AI value to your CFO, the FinOps way
98% of respondents to State of FinOps 2026 now manage AI spend. Proving what that spend delivered is harder. In State of Tokenomics 2026, 43% named proving value or ROI among their biggest AI cost challenges, and only 14% are highly confident in their AI cost visibility.
Cloudaware manages $15.7B in cloud spend across 5 cloud providers. AI spend now lands in the same billing data and breaks in the same places: no owner, partial cost, no baseline. We turned that FinOps practice into a 10-page guide on building a claim Finance can check, and a 7-sheet worksheet that does the math.
The worksheet takes the billing exports you already have, the name of the person who approves the spend and the system that holds the value metric. Each sheet follows a page of the guide. On the last sheet, formulas build a slide with charts you can drop into your CFO deck.
What the kit helps you do
- Assign an owner and a business service to every AI workload
- Count the full cost of AI, not only tokens
- Set a baseline and a value metric Finance already recognizes
- Hand Finance one slide with the decision you need
