AI Investment Intelligence
6 in 7 CFOs cannot answer the board’s AI ROI question. The other 1 is guessing.
Only 14% of CFOs can report measurable AI ROI. AI spend is growing 3.2x. The attribution infrastructure doesn’t exist. And the board is already asking. Ternary closes the gap before the next earnings call.
Full-stack AI investment intelligence
User & team-level attribution – first
Who is consuming AI, by individual developer, team, and product – before the question of which model. The ‘who’ question Finance gets first, answered first.
Credit burn rate & accrual accuracy
Actual AI consumption mapped against contract periods. Surface overruns before they become unbudgeted invoices. End the smooth-spread accrual that masks reality.
Shadow AI detection
Discover ungoverned AI spend across the organization. API keys, model endpoints, and inference costs surfaced from cloud billing data – Cursor, Glean, Anthropic direct, Bedrock, and beyond.
Board-ready ROI reporting
Pre-built dashboards showing total AI investment, cost per initiative, ROI trajectories, and risk exposure – formatted for the audit committee, not the engineering review.
AI budget trajectory – accrual inaccuracy
Prepaid credits are being spread evenly by Finance over the contract period masking the fact that we’re already burning through them ahead of schedule. Ternary is where the actual consumption rate lives.

Who before what
The primary question I get from leadership is who is consuming AI and at what cost. Beyond that: which models are being used and whether they’re being used efficiently. The hardest and most unsolved question is measuring outcomes.
