Free shadow-AI scan
Your real AI bill, in minutes.
What it’s worth, in two weeks.
The free scan finds every AI vendor in your ledger - including the ones nobody told IT about. Then the audit ties that spend to business outcomes: usage, hours saved, and a verdict per department, in a board-ready pack.
2 unknown to IT
$2,370/month of AI spend with no owner, no measurement, and a renewal nobody is watching.
The product - the Audit
A consultant-grade AI audit, run by AI.
Alfred - our AI advisor, trained on our own real-world AI transformation methodology - conducts the whole engagement: he interviews your department heads, reads your ledger, measures what’s really happening, and writes the board pack.
Join the 22% of finance leaders who can tie AI spend to business outcomes - now that 66% of boards condition further AI funding on proof of return.*
* “Finding the ROI of AI,” CloudZero, June 2026
Runs the engagement
Intake interview, data checklist, department-head interviews via simple links (no accounts needed), analysis, report. You’re never asked to do more than one thing at a time.
The board pack
Where your AI money actually goes (shadow spend included), a verdict per department with the evidence attached, an hours-saved value model, and a 30-60-90 plan.
≤ 2 hours of your time
Plus 15 minutes per department head. Two weeks elapsed, at a fixed price.
The data-gaps appendix. Every pack ends with what the audit couldn’t know and exactly what would close each gap. When the data can’t support a verdict, the pack says “unknown” - it never fabricates a number to look finished. That’s why your board can trust the pages that do have numbers.
Human in the loop
AI does the work. You keep the authority.
Everything Alfred produces passes through human judgment - yours - before it counts.
Nothing recorded without you
Interview answers arrive as drafts; nothing enters your organisation’s model until you approve it. Alfred proposes - you decide. The same rule, everywhere.
Verdicts inform, never dictate
The board pack gives you evidence, verdicts and a plan - the decisions stay yours, made with your context and judgment.
The founders, when you want them
Training your internal AI team, leadership workshops, hands-on help - human-led services on the Enterprise tier.
How it works - a real walkthrough
Two weeks, start to boardroom.
Maya is ops director at a 140-person firm. Her CFO has asked “what are we getting from all this AI?” two quarters running.
The free scan
Maya exports last quarter’s AP lines from Xero and uploads them. No signup for the headline: 7 AI vendors, $5.2k/month - two of them unknown to IT. She forwards the report to the CFO.
“OK - what’s the full picture?” - the CFO, four minutes later
She buys the audit
Fixed price, by card, under her approval limit. Alfred’s intake interview takes 20 minutes: departments, the tools she knows about, what the board actually asked.
Data, one item at a time
Alfred’s checklist: org chart CSV from HR, FTE cost bands, the OpenAI account IT will actually sign off. She skips the rest - Alfred says plainly what skipping costs, and files it for the data-gaps appendix.
Alfred interviews her department heads
Five heads, one link each, 15 minutes per person - what they use AI for, where the time really goes, what’s friction. Two ignore the first email; Alfred nudges once and tells Maya about the third. Everything captured queues for her confirmation - nothing enters the record without her sign-off.
The board pack lands
Spend map with the two shadow vendors flagged. Marketing: working, with evidence. Engineering: at risk - spend up, mapped value flat. Finance: honestly unknown, with exactly what would make it knowable. A 30-60-90 plan. Maya presents it at the next board meeting mostly as-is.
The meter stays on
The pack’s closing page: the measurement system is already installed - a subscription keeps verdicts fresh monthly, audit fee credited. The CFO, who has now seen evidence instead of vibes, approves. Three months later Maya books a white-glove enablement day for the two teams that want to build their own use cases.
The design rule behind this flow: the customer never does more than one thing at a time, never waits without knowing why, and never hears “unknown” without hearing what would fix it.
The platform underneath
Three data streams. One honest picture.
ROI has three ingredients - who is using AI, what they’re doing with it, and what it costs. Most tools see one. AIchemi connects all three, and Alfred reads them together.
Your people & departments
Live from your identity or HR system - or a simple CSV. A human review queue guards every change.
- SCIM 2.0 provisioning
- HR systems via one unified integration
- Joiners, movers and leavers tracked
Your AI platforms
Usage and spend synced from the tools your teams actually use, per department.
- Connectors for five major AI platforms
- Scheduled daily sync
- Department-level heatmaps
Your finance system
Line-level AP data from NetSuite, QuickBooks or Xero - or the CSV you already exported for the scan.
- Shadow-AI detection from invoices
- Department coding preserved
- Never mixes estimates with actuals
Meet Alfred.
Your AI advisor reads all three streams and delivers judgments, not dashboards: department verdicts each month, goal plans with concrete steps, a weekly digest, and a conversation you can push back on. Alfred remembers what worked at your organisation and gets sharper with every cycle.
