AI's cost structure breaks assumptions most finance organizations have relied on for years: every token, every agent run, every inference call carries a cost that moves in real time with usage — often set by a vendor you don't control.
This guide gives finance teams a framework for keeping AI margin under control, catching a pricing problem within the quarter instead of after it closes:
- Meter at the Same Speed Cost Moves
- Look at Margin by Feature and Customer, Not Just the Blend
- Treat Pricing as Reversible, Not a Bet You Get Once
- Underwrite the Revenue Recognition Risk Before the Contract
