SUMMARY:Live webcast: AI Costing Foundations: How to Capture the True 
 Cost of Enterprise AI

 1118/674271?utm_campaign=communication_reminder_24hr_registrants&utm_m
 edium=calendar&utm_source=brighttalk-transact\n\nPresenter: Trae Baker
 , Principal Strategic Advisor, TBM and FInOps, at Rego Consulting feat
 uring James Pearson, Technology Cost & Value, at Yarken\n\nAI spend is
  moving out of the innovation playground and onto the operating budget
 . As leadership asks what business value these tools are delivering, m
 any Finance and IT teams are finding that raw vendor bills don't tell 
 the full story. Disparate data sources, mismatched reporting cadences,
  and token usage are only part of the puzzle.  Finding out the real co
 st of AI spans infrastructure, facilities, internal labor, and vendor 
 commitments.\n \nJoin Rego's Trae Baker, alongside special guest James
  Pearson from our partner at Yarken, as they share how to pull these s
 cattered cost drivers out of separate systems and into a unified model
 .\n \nIn this session, you’ll learn how to:\n• Map Your True AI Footpr
 int: Look beyond basic API token bills to capture all five cost driver
 s: compute, tokens, software licenses, development labor, and vendor c
 ontracts.\n• Connect Disparate Cost Data: Walk through where each driv
 er lives and how to handle fixed vs. variable data frequency.\n• Attri
 bute Cost to Actual Work: Combine cost allocation with basic telemetry
  to link spend directly to specific applications, business units, and 
 operational tasks.\n• Make Practical Portfolio Decisions: Use your dat
 a to build straightforward, defensible recommendations on which AI ini
 tiatives to expand, optimize, or retire.\n \nThis session is geared to
 ward FinOps and ITFM leaders taking on the added challenge of governin
 g enterprise AI costs alongside traditional cloud spend.  Instead of j
 ust asking "what did we spend on AI?", you will learn how to build a r
 epeatable framework that answers "what work was performed, by whom, at
  what cost, and for what actual value?"
