AI Governance for IT and Finance Leaders

For the CFO

Financial Visibility & Control

GetWrangler gives finance teams a real-time view of AI spend, projection, and savings — consolidated into a single monthly invoice.

• ✓ Spend velocity monitoring — current burn rate, projected monthly total, burn rate trend (accelerating, steady, or decelerating), and estimated date you would reach your plan threshold at current pace
• ✓ Budget alerts at 50%, 80%, and 100% — informational emails sent once per day as spend approaches your plan limit; no service interruption at any threshold
• ✓ Verified savings report — what you actually spent versus what you would have spent without GetWrangler, per month, exportable as CSV for your records
• ✓ ACH vs. credit card billing — ACH bank transfer offers a lower savings share rate, keeping more of each dollar saved in your budget
• ✓ One consolidated monthly invoice — platform fee plus savings share; no per-call billing complexity across multiple AI providers

* GetWrangler 1.x provides access to major frontier models (Claude, GPT-4o, Gemini) via a client-owned Abacus.ai account. GetWrangler 2.x will add direct native endpoint support for all major providers.

For the IT Director

Per-User & Per-Department Visibility

Every API call is mapped to a named person or service. Department heads get the data they need. IT keeps control.

• ✓ Per-user spend tracking — every API call is attributed to a named contact via token mapping; no anonymous spend
• ✓ Per-department visibility — group tokens by department or business unit; roll up spend for budget conversations
• ✓ Token management — issue tokens, label them, set daily spend thresholds, and assign named alert contacts per token
• ✓ Anomaly detection — spike alerts when any token's daily spend exceeds 3× its 7-day trailing average; flags runaway automations before they compound
• ✓ Complete audit trail — every request logged with token, routing decision, handler type, cost, and timestamp; exportable as CSV
• ✓ SSO and SCIM / Directory Sync — available on Growth plan and above as an add-on; included in Enterprise

SSO and SCIM are available as add-ons on Growth and Pro plans. Both are included in Enterprise. See pricing →

For IT & Finance

AI Developer Tool Chargeback

Development teams using AI coding assistants generate significant API spend with zero visibility by default. GetWrangler solves this today for GitHub Copilot CLI (full support, including cost optimization), Cursor's chat/plan traffic, and Claude Code / Codex CLI (usage tracking and billing via your own Anthropic/OpenAI account, no tier-routing on that traffic yet), without changing developer behavior. See the Coding Tools Guide for the full breakdown.

Assign one token per developer, team, or client project on a supported tool. Enable bypass mode on each token so full model capability is preserved — developers experience no change in model quality or response speed. Every API call routed through GetWrangler is logged to the token, giving IT a complete attribution record.

• ✓ Chargeback AI costs to client projects or business units
• ✓ Enforce per-team or per-developer daily spend limits
• ✓ Produce monthly AI tool usage reports by team
• ✓ Identify which projects are driving AI cost growth
• ✓ Set threshold alerts before spend becomes a surprise

This is GetWrangler used as a control tower, not an optimizer. The savings ledger will show $0 in savings — that is correct. The value is visibility, control, and accountability.

For Security & Compliance

A Single Auditable Control Point

GetWrangler replaces scattered provider credentials with a single, auditable proxy endpoint — and is explicitly designed to never block your application.

• ✓ Single auditable endpoint — all AI API traffic flows through api.getwrangler.ai; one place to monitor, log, and govern
• ✓ No provider credentials in application code — GetWrangler stores provider keys in an encrypted vault (WorkOS); credentials are never exposed in source code, environment files, or logs
• ✓ Complete request audit trail — timestamp, token, handler, cost, and routing decision for every request; exportable for compliance review
• ✓ Shadow mode evaluation — 14-day observation period where GetWrangler makes zero changes to your request path; verify behavior before activating any optimization

The Bigger Picture

AI Spending Is the New Cloud Spending

AI spending is becoming what cloud spending became ten years ago: powerful, distributed, useful, and easy to lose control of.

Cloud spending started the same way — individual teams with individual credit cards, individual projects with individual bills, no central visibility until month-end surprises became a line item in board meetings. The response was a generation of cloud cost management tools that gave IT and finance the visibility they needed.

AI spending is on the same curve, compressed into a shorter window. The questions IT and finance leaders are asking today are identical:

GetWrangler answers all four — not as a reporting layer bolted on after the fact, but as the control plane through which all AI traffic flows.

Trust & Verification

The Jointly Auditable Savings Ledger

GetWrangler is designed to support a jointly auditable savings ledger so customers can independently verify claimed savings, usage decisions, and performance-based outcomes.
