Measure the finished unit, not the input.
Tokens, seats and hours are what the work consumed. The board is asking what it produced.
Hours, tokens and seats are inputs. None of them is a finished outcome. AVYV makes the cost of finished work visible, using the systems where that work is already recorded.
AVYV sells no AI. It prices each workflow it measures, never per agent, seat or token, so when the numbers say work should stay human-led, telling you costs us nothing.
| Engineering analytics | AI cost allocation | Agent observability | AVYV | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unit of measure | Merged PRs, cycle time | AI spend by team or tool | Cost and quality per agent run | Cost per finished unit |
| Failed attempts costed | No | Inside total spend, not by task | Per run, not per task | Yes, as scrap |
| Human review and rework costed | Measured as time, not cost | No | No | Yes, on every attempt |
| Human and AI work compared | Code contributions only | Spend split, not labor cost | No | Yes, same unit for both |
| Vendor-neutral | Varies | Varies | Often tied to a platform | Sells no AI |
Categories describe typical approaches, not any one vendor.
Tokens, seats and hours are what the work consumed. The board is asking what it produced.
A figure is traced to a record, or it is labeled as sampled, inferred or declared. Nothing is dressed up as more than it is.
We sell no AI, and our price does not change when the answer is to automate less.
Human work is the baseline, reported at team level, never ranked and never priced per head.
Seasoned executive with two decades leading enterprise data security and governance at Kroger, AT&T, DIRECTV and the LA Times, including building Kroger's AI security program. He has sat on the other side of this exact table and knows how the large enterprise buyer thinks, because he has been the buyer. Deeply engaged in the vendor ecosystem, he has evaluated and purchased enterprise security solutions and advised startups including Cyera, Aim Security and Britive, and served on Cyera's technical advisory board. This enterprise acumen is backed by 15+ years of community leadership (President of ISC2 LA, VP of ISSA LA, OWASP LA board), an MBA, an MS in Information Security, and current advanced certifications in Machine Learning.
