Include AI costs in your service delivery economics
AI tools are now part of how your team delivers. DigitalCore tracks that spend alongside labour and tooling so you see the real Total Cost of Delivery.
The Challenge
Sound familiar? These are the operational realities that erode margins and slow decisions.
AI spend is invisible in your P&L
Teams use Copilot, ChatGPT, or custom models — but those costs live in scattered subscriptions, not in your engagement financials.
Total Cost of Delivery is incomplete
If your delivery cost only counts labour hours and traditional tooling, you're understating cost and overstating margin.
No way to measure AI ROI per engagement
You approved AI budgets but have no engagement-level view of whether that investment is improving productivity or just adding cost.
How DigitalCore Helps
AI cost capture
Log AI tool costs per engagement — subscriptions, API usage, or per-seat licences — alongside your existing cost structure.
Blended Total Cost of Delivery
See human + AI + tooling costs in one unified view. Margin calculations reflect what delivery actually costs.
AI ROI per engagement
Compare AI spend to hours saved or output gains at the engagement level — not just org-wide averages.
How It Works
From data to decisions in five straightforward steps.
Register AI Cost Sources
Add your AI tools — API subscriptions, per-seat licences, token-based usage — to the engagement cost structure.
Attribute Costs per Engagement
Allocate AI spend to specific engagements by usage, headcount, or fixed allocation. Same workflow as labour costing.
Blended TCD Calculates
Total Cost of Delivery now includes human labour + AI tools + traditional tooling. Margin reflects what delivery actually costs.
AI ROI Surfaces per Engagement
Compare AI spend against hours saved or throughput gains. See whether AI investment is improving margin or just adding cost.
