As enterprise workflows transition to Generative AI (GenAI), variable usage-based token costs are replacing predictable SaaS subscriptions. Without financial controls, a majority of GenAI projects will exceed their budgets due to recursive agentic loops, prompt bloat, and unmonitored context windows.
The CFO’s Guide to Enterprise LLM and Agentic AI Unit Economics delivers an actionable FinOps framework to eliminate token waste, build real-time guardrails, and maximize Return on AI Investments (ROAIs).
Key Takeaways:
- Understand input, output, cached, and reasoning tokens to manage token costs.
- Effective optimization levers.
- Attribute infrastructure spend to agents, workflows, queries, teams, and business outcomes
- Establish hard execution caps, real-time anomaly detection, and unified API gateways.
