Your first run

Get from provider bill to a usable decision.

01

See the spend

Connect billing data and surface the providers, teams and use cases driving the current run rate.

02

Assign the owner

Map projects, workspaces, keys and billing groups to the people accountable for them.

03

Record the result

Set what each use case should deliver, then collect the actual outcome each month.

04

Make the call

Keep a factual record to scale, fix with a deadline, or stop—without letting software make the decision.

A report finance can inspect

Not another token dashboard.

Every report carries the source quality, owner and outcome behind the number. Plain-language summaries help readers orient themselves; computed billing data remains the record.

What changed

Support copilot spend increased $6,280 after request volume rose 31%. Cost per ticket remained below its $2.10 target.

Needs an owner

$3,048 remains assigned to Sales but has no accountable use-case owner.

Decision due

Outreach drafting has missed its cost-per-outcome target for three months. Review the evidence and record a decision.

What access is required

Billing access in. Prompts stay out.

RUNR8 does not sit between your application and an AI provider. It reads billing and usage metadata, then encrypts each credential at rest.

OpenAI · Anthropic · OpenRouter

Read-only organization or admin API key

Billing totals, usage, projects, workspaces and API-key identifiers

Cursor · ChatGPT / Codex

Workspace admin key or billing export

Seats, credits, users, groups and contract-metered usage

Azure OpenAI · AWS Bedrock

FOCUS or CUR billing export

Cost lines, service metadata and allocation tags

Never collected: prompts, model responses or application traffic.

Software assists. People decide.

Evidence first. Narrative second.

RUNR8 computes every financial figure before drafting a summary. Generated text is checked against those figures, clearly marked when it needs review, and never chooses an outcome for you.

Source quality

Reconciled, contract-derived and estimated figures stay visibly separate.

Ownership

Every assigned dollar can be traced to a team, use case and accountable owner.

Privacy

Individual tool spend remains admin-only and out of ordinary reports by default.

Decision history

Monthly reports, governance records and human decisions share one ledger.
