Technology spend is capital. Measure it like capital.
OPTIMAZE traces every dollar of AI and cloud spend to what caused it, divides it by the business activity it supports, and gives finance a figure it can defend.
A cost is something you minimise. Capital is something you deploy, and deployed capital is judged on what came back.
Data Foundation
Bring AI, cloud, SaaS and infrastructure costs into a single economic model. Every provider. Every environment. One complete picture.
Cost Attribution
Automate cost attribution to teams, products, customers, features and initiatives. Mathematical. Documented. Traceable.
Investment Performance
Understand what technology investment is producing. This is where the executive conversation happens.
THE DIFFERENCE
A cost tool can only attribute what somebody remembered to tag.
Same estate. Same 30% tag coverage. What changes is how much of it can be explained.
A cost is something you minimise. Capital is something you deploy, and deployed capital is judged on what came back.
FINANCIAL ATTRIBUTION
Attribution as you see it.
Attribution is computed, not configured. It is derived from how your resources, accounts, services and metadata actually relate, and maintained as rules over those relationships.
Starts on the estate you have
Untagged, partly tagged, or three conventions from three acquisitions
Attribute an untagged estate
A meaningful and accurate view exists before new tagging work begins.
Add tagging when you want it
Where you use it, it sharpens the picture rather than gating it.
Absorb inherited conventions
An estate arriving with somebody else’s tagging scheme does not need reconciling to yours first.
COVERAGE ON THE SAME ESTATE
Resources tagged
30%
Spend attributed
95%
Attribution does not depend on the tag.
Survives change
Rules over relationships, not a static chart of accounts
Absorb reorganisations
Teams and ownership can move without restating the history behind the figure.
Take on an acquisition
An inherited estate does not need retagging first.
Track workloads that scale themselves
Autoscaling and ephemeral resources stay attributed as they appear and disappear.
AFTER A REORGANISATION
Payments
$877,020
Payments_Core renamed
$877,020
Same figure, no retagging.
Finance keeps its own model
No inherited taxonomy, no waiting
Map to products, cost centres and P&L lines
The structure finance already reports on is the structure it reads here.
Stop depending on another team’s discipline
The figure does not wait on engineering hygiene work.
Keep allocation where it belongs
Shared platform services are allocated on rules finance controls.
ONE ESTATE, TWO HIERARCHIES
Engineering · payments-svc
$877k
Finance · Digital Products
$1.48M
Both reconcile to $2,143,880. Finance reads its own structure without engineering changing anything.
HOW IT WORKS
Attribute it. Measure it. Track it.
Each layer needs the one beneath it.
WHAT IT TAKES TO GET THERE
Days, not a journey.
1 day
To an attributed view of the estate
Across different technologies
Half a day
To reconcile, down from weeks
Previously a multi-week manual exercise.
90%

Everything, grouped by the layer it serves.
SOLUTIONS
Start with the spend you already own.
AI Economics
What is AI spend producing? Token-level attribution tied to the features and teams driving it.
Cloud Economics
What is cloud spend producing? Attribution across accounts and services, without a tagging programme first.
SaaS Economics
Which licences are earning their place? Software spend measured against the business activity it supports.

WHAT IT ANSWERS
The questions a CFO actually asks.
Built around what finance is accountable for, not what infrastructure teams optimise.
QUESTIONS
The things people ask first.
What is Technology Capital Performance?
Technology Capital Performance is the measurement of whether technology spend is producing a proportionate, attributable return. OPTIMAZE attributes cloud and AI spend to what caused it, divides it by the business activity it supports, and tracks that ratio against a target.
Does OPTIMAZE require us to tag our cloud resources?
No. Attribution is derived from how resources, accounts, services and metadata actually relate to one another, so a defensible and accurate view exists on an entirely untagged environment. Where you ask for it, OPTIMAZE also tags resources as they are created and backfills the history behind them. Tagging is an input, never a precondition.
How is this different from a cloud cost management tool?
A cost management tool is built to reduce spend. OPTIMAZE is built to measure what spend produced. A cost is something you minimise; capital is something you deploy, and deployed capital is judged on the return it produced. The two ask different questions of the same dollar.
What does OPTIMAZE connect to?
AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, OpenAI, Anthropic, Cursor, Zapier and Slack. Read-only access, with nothing to install in your estate.
How long before we have a number?
With the right setup, an attributed view of the estate is live in a day, and unit economics follow in days rather than months. Reconciliation that previously took weeks takes about half a day.
Does Optimaze hold any security certifications, such as SOC 1, SOC 2, or ISO 27001?
Yes. Optimaze is ISO27001 certified and inprocess with SOC 2 Type 2 certification
GET STARTED
See what your technology spend produced.
Not what it cost. Not what you saved. What came back.
That measurement is Technology Capital Performance.
