Spend control
Reference moduleSpendra gives finance, platform, and AI operations teams a governed gateway for paid AI usage with scoped keys, budget policies, ledger records, and audit trails.
Problem
As AI usage moves from a few subscriptions into agents, internal tools, provider APIs, and AI-assisted workflows, organizations need to know who or what caused spend, which budget applied, what remains, and when usage should be blocked or reviewed.
Where it fits
Use Spendra when teams need provider access, employee and agent keys, hard caps before provider calls, finance-ready ledgers, provider usage views, audit trails, and customer-managed private deployment.
How it works
01
Map usage to organizations, branches, teams, projects, employees, agents, and subagents.
02
Apply hard caps, soft caps, alerts, review rules, and provider or model permissions.
03
Send governed AI calls through an OpenAI-compatible gateway when pre-call spend control is required.
04
Book settled usage into ledgers, dashboards, audit records, and finance exports.
What this can support
Issue scoped API keys for employees, agents, teams, projects, and workflow surfaces.
Enforce hard caps before provider calls and notify on soft caps or anomalies.
Track spend by provider, model, employee, project, agent, and subagent.
Expose ledger records, audit logs, budget health, provider usage, and CSV exports.
Who it is for
We can decide whether this building block fits your workflow, deployment boundary, and review requirements.
