01

Observability Is Not The Whole Finance Workflow

LLM observability helps teams debug usage. AI FinOps needs ownership, budgets, allocation, an attributed ledger, and unit economics.

02

Preserve Useful Logs

Keep request and prompt observability where it helps developers, then send cost and ownership dimensions into Cloptima for finance-facing reporting.

03

Forward Helicone usage to Cloptima

Keep Helicone for request and prompt observability, and forward usage to Cloptima's Helicone ingest endpoint so finance gets ownership, budgets, and cost reporting alongside it.

04

Add budget controls

Use Cloptima policies for spend limits, environment controls, model access, and app-level governance where enforcement matters.

05

Connect to cloud cost

Cloptima connects LLM usage to cloud, Kubernetes, team, and product cost dimensions, so AI spend isn't isolated from the rest of COGS.
