The economics of work, human and AI
What every process costs, in people and in AI.
WorkGraph joins human capacity and AI compute on the same processes, and shows whether it works.

Invoice processing costs €610k in people for €6k of AI. Lead management gets the largest AI budget. Is that the right call?
01The problem
You can see what AI costs. Not what it’s worth.
Dashboards report seats and tokens. None say which process the compute served, or whether it improved.
What you know
Demo dataAI spend
- AI licences
- €1.2m / year
- Tokens consumed
- 3.4bn / quarter
- Employees with access
- 1,850 of 2,400
What you don’t
AI value
- Which processes absorb people’s time
- Which processes AI actually serves
- Whether cost per unit moved
- What reached the P&L
02Three products
The work, the AI, and what the two return.
Where does human capacity go?
Processes, activities, roles. FTE, loaded cost, unit cost.
See Work GraphAI Graph02Where does AI compute go?
Assistants, applications, agents. Cost attributed to processes.
See AI GraphValue Graph03What does it return?
The operating statement of every process, tracked to the P&L.

03Use cases
Built for the people who own the answer.
For leadership teams in companies of 250 to a few thousand people, investing in AI and asked to show what it returns.
CEO · COO
“Where does the team’s time go?”
A validated work graph with FTE, cost and unit cost per process.
CFO
“What are we getting back for AI spend?”
Spend attributed to processes, value tracked to the P&L.
CIO · Chief AI Officer
“Which compute serves which process?”
Tokens and cost attributed, with a stated confidence level.
PE operating partner
“Where is the AI upside, and how much reaches EBITDA?”
A comparable diagnostic of one process, repeatable across a portfolio.
Test it on one process.
A cross-functional process or a business unit. Read-only, nothing installed on devices.
