In this episode of Financial Modeler’s Corner, host Paul Barnhurst and co-hosts Ian Schnoor and Giles Male explore the hidden cost of AI adoption, enterprise transformation, and what happens when usage-based pricing becomes the new reality.
Many companies are focused on what AI can save.
Far fewer are asking what AI might eventually cost.
The early wins look incredible. Processes get faster.
Teams become more productive. Workflows that once took hours can be completed in minutes.
But consumption-based pricing changes the equation.
When AI becomes embedded into every process, every workflow, and every decision, usage compounds quickly.
What looks affordable at the start can become a significant operational expense at scale.
