The CFO view of AI — spend, usage, impact, resilience
AI budgets are growing and proving ROI is hard. Fronterio is the Prove act of the Design → Govern → Prove spine. It connects AI spend to business outcomes with cross-vendor adoption tracking (Copilot, Gemini, Claude), before/after business impact metrics, per-initiative ROI, a Vendor Resilience score that surfaces concentration risk, and a quarterly Board Pack your directors read as one narrative — not a stack of diverging documents.

How Fronterio works for finance leaders
As CFO, you're approving AI budgets without clear evidence of return. Fronterio changes that by connecting four data streams: what you spend on AI licences, how much they're actually used, what business impact they deliver, and how resilient your vendor mix is if any one platform fails or changes terms.
The AI Tool Adoption Tracker shows real usage data across Microsoft Copilot, Google Gemini, and Anthropic Claude — licences active vs idle, usage intensity by department, cost per active user. The numbers you need to rebalance spend, not just approve it.
The Business Impact Metrics module tracks before-and-after data tied to specific AI deployments. Hours saved per process, cost reductions, revenue influenced — entered by teams and visualised with event markers showing when each tool went live. Proof, not anecdote.
The AI Vendor Resilience scorecard (Enterprise) surfaces concentration risk. If 80% of your AI spend sits with a single vendor, you're one pricing-change away from a budget crisis. Fronterio scores your mix across four layers, runs failover drills, and recommends which workloads to diversify. Board-level risk oversight, quantified.
And the Strategy OS + Board Pack deliver what used to be a €500K–€2M consulting engagement — Strategy Canvas, 12-month Roadmap, OKR Cascade, quarterly Executive Board Pack — as living platform primitives at 1% of the cost. Each refreshes automatically as data changes. Your board reporting is composed from live metrics, not rebuilt slide by slide.
The finance difference
Without Fronterio
- AI spend scattered across departments with no central view
- No way to connect licence costs to actual business impact
- Idle AI licences quietly burning budget month after month
- Six-figure consulting engagements for strategy + board-level artifacts
With Fronterio
- Unified view of AI spend, usage, and business impact across vendors
- Before/after business metrics tied to specific AI deployments with event markers
- Licence utilisation data per vendor, department, and user — active vs idle
- Strategy OS + Board Pack living artifacts, refreshed automatically — 1% of consulting cost

Calculate the savingsYour path to AI ROI clarity
Connect your AI tools
Link Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, or Anthropic accounts to pull real-time usage data across every AI platform in use.
Set business baselines
Enter baseline metrics for key processes — support ticket time, sales cycle length, document processing hours. The platform tracks before and after for every deployment.
Score resilience
Run the Vendor Resilience scorecard. Surface concentration risk. Run failover drills to confirm continuity if a vendor changes terms, raises prices, or degrades.
Report to the board
Generate the quarterly Board Pack from live data. One narrative combining spend, usage, impact, resilience, and EU AI Act attestation — in 30 seconds, not two weeks.
“We were spending into six figures on AI licences with no idea if they were worth it. Within a month Fronterio showed us which seats were idle and which were paying back — and flagged that we were dangerously concentrated with one vendor. That's the kind of data the board wants.”
