Model Cost Allocation
modelcostallocation.com
The attribution and allocation of direct and shared AI-related costs to models, applications, workflows, teams, business units, products, tenants, customers, or other accountable economic objects.
Licensing, stewardship, partnership or acquisition discussions welcome.
Why it matters
The problem this identity helps frame
AI costs can span provider charges, shared infrastructure, data, platform services, and organizational overhead. Decisions are difficult to compare when attribution scope and shared-cost assumptions remain implicit.
Evidence and terminology boundary
What the record supports
FinOps for AI supplies practitioner context for allocation, forecasting, optimization, and governance of AI spend. FOCUS 1.4 supplies open cost-and-usage data requirements that can support cost attribution. Neither source chooses an internal allocation basis.
What this is not
The domain provides public technical orientation. It is not, by itself, an operational service, control plane, runtime, database, or standards authority.
