Measure whether your AI compute is compounding.
Find out whether your AI spend — infrastructure, API usage, model development, internal tools — is building durable enterprise value, or just inflating your infrastructure bill. Board-ready ROC in under fifteen minutes.
Your AI bill measures tokens. ROC measures what those tokens actually produced.
This looks like it's compounding. The calculator pinpoints where your next dollar earns the most.
Five sources of value. One denominator.
Traditional ROI misses capability gains, productivity acceleration, efficiency improvements, and option value. ROC treats compute as a productive capital asset and measures every dollar of value it creates.
From AI spend to board-ready ROC in under fifteen minutes.
Ten guided steps. Plain-English explanations. Visible assumptions. Every result includes a confidence range and a recommendation about where your next compute dollar should go.
- Organization profile, compute spend, and allocation
- Production, capability, internal, efficiency, and option value
- Effective compute diagnostic (utilization, fungibility, reliability, price-perf, model)
- Executive summary with marginal ROC by bucket
For the people deciding where AI dollars actually go.
The observability layer tells you what you spent. We tell you whether it was worth it.
Magpie, LangSmith, Helicone — they all answer "where did the money go?" Return on Compute answers "was it worth it?" Upload your cost data, and we'll compute your live ROC per workflow, per team, per quarter.
