The Problem

AI spend scales by default. Control does not.

Surprise overruns

Token based pricing means one busy agent can blow a quarterly budget in a week.

Shadow AI

Teams expense tools that never went through security or procurement review.

No audit trail

When the CFO or CISO asks who approved what, the answer lives in DMs.
