# Finide

> Finide is an AI cost simulation, forecasting, and calculation platform built for product, engineering, and finance teams. Model token spend, vector DB usage, embeddings, fine-tuning, retries, idle GPU time, and cloud bills *before* shipping AI features — so finance stops being surprised by the post-launch bill.

## What Finide does

- **AI cost simulation** — run a feature's full cost model (LLM tokens, vector DB, embeddings, RAG retrieval, fine-tuning, inference, retries, idle GPU spend) against your scenario inputs and see the actual monthly number before you write code.
- **AI cost forecasting** — project AI feature spend over a quarter or year as MAU, queries, and model choice evolve.
- **AI cost calculation** — token-level math against current LLM vendor pricing (OpenAI, Anthropic, AWS Bedrock, Pinecone, Weaviate, cloud GPU rates).
- **Budget scenario planning** — up to 5 scenarios at once with live sliders, cost-delta diffs, and version history.
- **Build vs buy analysis** — full TCO comparison (build vs buy) with breakeven analysis and an auto-generated decision record.
- **Roadmap prioritization** — ROI score and payback period per backlog item, with live-updating rank.
- **Architecture Decision Records (ADRs)** — auto-generated at finalization with financial context attached.
- **Cloud cost forecasting** — project spend across AWS, GCP, Azure with usage scenario modeling.
- **Engineering ROI analysis** — measure shipped-feature ROI against pre-build forecast.
- **Reporting** — board, portfolio, and post-launch ROI dashboards.

## Who Finide is for

- Product Managers planning AI features and shipping with budget confidence
- Engineering Leads sizing infrastructure, comparing build vs buy
- Platform / FinOps teams forecasting cloud spend before traffic arrives
- CFOs, Finance Business Partners, and Heads of Finance approving AI investments with defensible numbers

## Why Finide exists

Engineering estimates for AI features are systematically ~3× lower than actual cost. Tokens, retries, vector DB read amplification, embedding regeneration, idle GPU time, and orphaned inference endpoints are routinely missed. Finide models the real number before launch, so commitments are made on data instead of optimism.
