Use case / Finance
Govern AI like productive capital.
A continuous view of where AI capital is deployed, what output sits alongside it, where discipline is missing, and where the next dollar can be allocated more productively.
Who it is for
CFO / FP&A
Own portfolio discipline: where AI capital is deployed, what it is producing, and when to recover, test, or increase investment.
Arbitir gives Finance one view of AI capital across the portfolio, linking spend, ownership, controls, and business output so budget decisions can be made continuously.
- “Where is AI capital actually going?”
- “How can I control runaway or wasteful spend?”
- “How do I ensure policy decisions are enforced?”
- “Which allocations are idle, duplicated, or poorly governed?”
- “What are we actually spending on?”
- “Where should we recover, test, or increase capital next?”
Outcomes
What the portfolio is measured on.
Not one role's output. How much of the portfolio is governed, how often it is decided, and what came back.
| Outcome | Horizon | Reads at | 90 days | Per managed dollar |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spend under an active budgetyour definition | Proximal output | same day | 78% | not a unit cost |
| Capital decisions recordedyour definition | Proximal output | same day | 214 | $6,816 per decision |
| Recoverable capital identifiedyour definition | Financial outcome | +30d | $61,400 | not a unit cost |
| Interventions with a declared outcomeyour definition | Financial outcome | +60d | 86% | not a unit cost |

Value model
Connect capacity to the function's operating outcomes.
Each use case runs the same Arbitir loop: observe capital, define output, measure what changes, move the allocation, and scale what works.
- 01
Portfolio visibility
Normalize AI consumption across tools and map every resolvable dollar to an organizational owner.
- 02
Capital discipline
Use budgets, policies, thresholds, and approvals to make AI investment governable.
- 03
Productivity economics
Put spend alongside company-defined business output and unit economics.
- 04
Continuous reallocation
Move capital toward higher-return teams and use cases as evidence accumulates.
How Arbitir helps
Capital ledger
See AI spend across providers, teams, people, projects, and workflows in one normalized economic ledger. Finance can identify where capital is concentrated, underused, unattributed, or growing unexpectedly.
Budgets and controls
Set budgets and policies by department, team, role, individual, project, or AI provider. Thresholds, approvals, and exceptions create explicit governance around when additional capital can be consumed.
Allocation recommendations
Identify capital that can be recovered, increased, or tested based on utilization, business output, and evidence of return. Arbitir turns portfolio visibility into an ongoing capital allocation process.
