Benefits / Who

Know who is using AI across your company.

SignalCost turns anonymous AI usage into accountable company activity. Owners can see which people and teams are adopting AI, where usage is happening, and whether the work belongs to the business.

Who Is Using AI

What this tells you

Employee, team, app, site, Beacon, provider, credential, and request owner.

How SignalCost shows it

  • A browser, Beacon, endpoint, SDK, MCP, or OpenTelemetry source emits privacy-aware capture evidence.
  • Cloud and Beacon attach each request to a source, employee, provider, model, route, and receipt when that evidence is available.
  • The Traffic Workbench and reports show usage by person, team, office Beacon, business area, and provider.
  • Optional managed-source enrollment can add explicit employee, device, process, or workload attribution later.

Why it helps your business

  • See real adoption instead of guessing who is using AI.
  • Stop shared or unmanaged provider keys from becoming invisible spend.
  • Give managers a clear view of which teams need training, policy changes, or more quota.
  • Explain AI usage by office or customer site when Beacon is installed.
Examples

What this looks like in a business.

These examples show why the SignalCost decision loop matters more than counting provider tokens after the fact.

A business owner finds where AI is actually taking off.

Problem
The company knows people are using AI, but not which teams are getting value from it.
SignalCost
SignalCost shows support, finance, and operations usage by employee and business area.
Result
The owner expands training for the teams getting value and removes unmanaged shared access.

Finance stops paying for anonymous AI usage.

Problem
Provider invoices show spend, but not who caused it or why it happened.
SignalCost
Requests are tied to employees, provider routes, and approved business objectives.
Result
Finance can charge the right budget and explain why the usage was allowed.

A multi-office team sees which site needs help.

Problem
One branch is using more AI than expected, but Cloud-only reports do not show the local office path.
SignalCost
Beacon adds the office and device context to each request.
Result
The operations team finds a training gap before it turns into runaway spend.
