AI Cost Footprint Assessment
What your AI actually costs — across model, infra, and ops time.
A self-serve diagnostic that surfaces your current AI cost across three layers — model spend, infrastructure, and the human ops time spent running, fixing, and supervising AI workflows. You walk through structured probing to inventory what you're actually paying for and where, and walk away with a one-page CFO-readable cost picture: total monthly footprint, 1-3 pattern badges, attribution coverage, locked-vs-flexible composition, and the cost-discipline questions to take into the next finance conversation.
The arc
Your work with Friday, in 6 moves.
Profile
A short read on you, the operating context, and what triggered this session. Calibrates probing depth for the rest of the session.
Visible Spend
Inventory model spend + infrastructure together. Probes for buried items, shadow spend, and commitment structure (annual / monthly / usage-variable).
Invisible Spend
Human hours per week spent running, fixing, reviewing, iterating, onboarding others, managing vendors. The methodology's durable differentiator. Uses structured triangulation: round-number estimate → one time-study probe → revise if contradicted by >2× → capture genuinely-uncomputable hours as Unattributed Ops Time.

What you'll walk away with
An implementation-ready spec for your highest-leverage workflow.
Score your workflows against five operator-tier criteria, map your top priority end-to-end, and produce a spec with governance that a builder could pick up tomorrow. Yours to keep, refine, and put to work — whichever way you choose to run it.
