KPMG Survey Puts AI Cost Visibility at 26%

Only 26% of companies fully track AI costs, according to a KPMG survey reported by WSJ. Token meters are pushing CFOs toward dashboards, routing rules and new standards as Life360, Affirm and Corning try to put budgets around agent usage before invoices outrun forecasts.

A Controversial Takeaway:
If cloud vendors really cared about your mission, they’d let you leave without a ransom. Non-profits aren’t tech labs. Your impact dies when you fund Azure’s ski trips instead of village networks.

Ask Them This:
Why do consultants sell cost-cutting that requires paying extra for emergencies? If sharing resources saves money, why are cloud CEOs buying yachts while your co-op lays off cheesemongers?

У кого‑то остались подразделения за границей, кто‑то завязан на legacy‑решения, которые дешевле оставить как есть, чем переезжать, а кому‑то просто лень. Причины у всех разные, но объединяет их одно: необходимость свести этот облачный зоопарк в понятную модель затрат, с которой будет удобно работать всем.
