Executive Summary

Many companies—especially finance, procurement, and engineering leaders—struggle with 10–30% invisible waste across SaaS and AI spend as teams buy credits and metered APIs independently, creating shadow IT and large per-request cost variance. This drains budgets and forces time-consuming manual audits that CFOs and procurement teams can't reliably reconcile to invoices. Build an automated auditing and remediation platform that ingests invoices, API usage logs, and cloud billing to detect anomalies, attribute costs to teams, surface invoice-backed savings, and either recommend or automatically apply policy-driven remediations (e.g., rate limits, model routing, credential controls). Deep integrations with ERP/finance systems and LLM providers plus role-based reports would let procurement prove verifiable ROI to finance stakeholders. The timing is attractive: roughly 1,000,000 businesses spending an average of $24K/year yields a TAM of about $24B, and recovering 10–30% of that spend implies $2.4B–$7.2B of addressable savings. Metered AI/serverless pricing and decentralized procurement trends are increasing variance and urgency, so buyers are primed for tools that can show invoice-backed impact. You can differentiate by combining automated remediation with measurable, invoice-backed savings and an ROI-tied pricing model, but expect a medium-competitive landscape and real challenges around integrating diverse billing APIs, earning CFO trust, and managing a longer enterprise sales cycle.

Market Opportunity

Reduce hidden 10-30% AI/SaaS spend waste by automated auditing and remediation targets a $24.0B = 1,000,000 businesses × $24K average annual SaaS/AI spend per business total addressable market with medium saturation and a year-over-year growth rate of 20% YoY (market combining SaaS management, FinOps, and AI cost tooling — supported by Gartner/IDC estimates for cloud cost management and increasing AI spend patterns).

Key trends driving demand: Metered AI billing and serverless models — as more companies pay per request for LLMs, cost variance increases and creates demand for guardrails.; Decentralized procurement — teams independently buy SaaS and AI credits, increasing shadow IT and making centralized visibility more valuable.; Procurement ROI pressure — CFOs and finance teams demand verifiable savings from any tooling, favoring products that can demonstrate invoice-backed impact.; Automation-first operations — companies prefer automated remediation and rightsizing to manual audits, which speeds adoption of tools that can act automatically..

Key competitors include Zylo, Torii, CloudZero, Apptio (Cloudability).
