A practitioner’s perspective
Enterprise AI needs financial operations built for the work it changes.
AI FinOps connects technology cost, business value, workforce capacity, governance, and adoption. This handbook is where I develop that practice from what I learn and see working in IT.
Spend is only meaningful when it can be connected to an outcome.
Working principle
Why this exists
I’m Leslie. I work in IT, with a current focus on manpower resources. As enterprises move from AI experiments into real implementation, I believe AI FinOps will become essential: not just to control model costs, but to understand adoption, capacity, accountability, and whether AI is improving the work it was introduced to support.
This is not an academic publication. It is a living practitioner’s handbook—my thoughts, study notes, useful frameworks, and practical tools, refined as my understanding grows.
