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.
