Every AI. Every agent. Every dollar of value — recorded, reportable, and defensible.
“If you discover yourself in partnership with the A.I. system, you are uniquely vulnerable to all of the failures of that A.I. system.” — Jack Clark, co-founder, Anthropic · via The New York Times, 2026
See what every AI agent in your organization returns — one defensible number, on a ledger the board and finance team can audit, re-derive, and stand behind.
See why a system of record wins.
Then forward the whitepaper — the methodology that turns AI activity into a recomputable, board-ready ledger. Counted, not estimated.
Every dollar carries its evidence.
Metered activity, finance-approved rates, source documents, and review history stay connected to the value claim—so the number can be re-derived without trusting the vendor.
The Defensible ROI — for a board that asks for the arithmetic.
14-minute read. Four-tier credibility ladder. The Meridian worked example. EY: 34% / 65% more likely to report improved revenue growth / cost savings. KPMG: 3.5× / 5× more likely to report established ROI. A board one-liner your CFO can re-derive from your rate card.
Every desk is building with AI — and no one can tell the board what it costs, whether it’s controlled, or what it returns. Oabo makes the answer one defensible number on a ledger the finance team can re-derive.
“Building is easier than it has ever been. Generating real value is still hard.”
From scattered spend to a number that holds up.
Oabo runs the same discipline a finance team would — applied to AI. Four steps move every dollar from potential to proven.
Point your agents at Oabo
Each agent enrolls itself the first time it emits one telemetry event with a stable fingerprint — a single HTTP call, no connectors. Spend is recorded against that same identity through the ingest endpoint.
Register every agent
Every agent and model gets one record: an owner, a purpose, and the cost it generated. One registry, not a spreadsheet.
Measure the value
Connect value to your general ledger. Each entry traces back to a specific GL event with a finance-signed rate. No invented numbers.
Report to the board
A single defended number with the supporting evidence behind it. Ready for the board, the auditor, and the regulator.
Everyone has an AI strategy. Almost no one can prove what it returns.

One record. Every stakeholder’s answer.
The same verified ledger reads differently depending on who’s asking — and satisfies all of them.
A defensible AI number.
Tie every dollar of spend to verified return. Walk into the board meeting with a number that reconciles to finance.

Register every agent, see its cost and its return, and turn a sprawling AI footprint into a portfolio you can prioritize.
- Cost and return per agent
- Compare and prioritize across teams
A paper trail that holds up.
For finance and healthcare teams: every number traces to its source, every rate is finance-signed, and every reporting period exports as a signed audit pack an auditor can verify independently.
- Immutable evidence record
- Ready for external audit
A credible AI story.
Replace anecdotes with one defensible number and the evidence behind it. The story investors actually underwrite.
- One number, fully sourced
- Potential and verified, kept separate
Built to sit alongside the stack you run.
Today, agents on any of these platforms enroll themselves with one telemetry event, and spend is recorded against them through the ingest endpoint — no provider connection required. Auto-ingestion from provider billing accounts is on the roadmap.
FinOps sees the cost. GRC sees the risk. Observability sees the output. Oabo sees the return — and proves it.
Four categories, four incumbents, four blind spots. Oabo is the only system that sits on the join — and re-derives the number on a ledger the CFO can audit.

What does Oabo actually do?
Oabo records every AI agent in your organization, measures the spend and the return, and produces a single defensible number that ties back to your general ledger. The number is recomputable from inputs your auditor can verify independently.
How is this different from a cost dashboard?
A cost dashboard tells you what you spent. Oabo tells you what you got — and whether the number holds up. Spend is one input; the headline is the cost-versus-return story your CFO needs to defend.
Do I have to talk to sales to start?
No. Open the sandbox with example data, then register your own agents — each one enrolls itself with a single telemetry event. You can reach a first usable number the same day.
Is it safe for regulated data?
Oabo is built for finance and healthcare teams: nine roles with segregation of duties and business-unit scoping, a hash-chained audit trail behind every mutation, and rates that are signed by your finance team. Every reporting period exports as a signed JSON audit pack an auditor can verify independently. Single sign-on is on the roadmap.
How long until we have something to show the board?
You can reach a first defensible figure in your first week: point your top agents at the telemetry endpoint, add your finance-signed rates, and the headline writes itself.
The sandbox is free. The record starts at $1,500 a month.
Start with a 30-day workspace. Continue on an annual plan once you have seen Oabo working on your own numbers. Paid plans never charge by seat, agent, or event.
