About RoughDigits
Decades of experience in enterprise technology, finance and governance, now in one consultancy focused on a growing need: controlling technology and AI spend.
Why RoughDigits exists
Technology spend used to come from a few big contracts. Now it comes from everywhere: subscriptions bought by teams, cloud bills that change by the hour, and AI arriving in three ways at once. The FinOps Foundation's State of FinOps 2026 found 98% of its respondents now manage AI spend, up from 31% two years earlier (read 03/10/2026).
In most organisations the facts are spread out: finance holds the accounts, IT knows the systems, and teams know what they use. RoughDigits brings those facts together into one agreed record, sets up the governance it depends on, and keeps it up to date.
Our principles
- Governance comes first. Every saving and every safeguard depends on it.
- Agreed facts come first. We report nothing until you have confirmed in writing that the list of systems is complete.
- Our prices are published. Every service shows a starting price, and the final price follows the scope agreed in writing.
- Your data stays yours. Confidential data is processed only on our own machines, never sent to cloud AI services.
- We use recognised methods, not our own inventions: the FinOps Framework, FOCUS, ISO/IEC 19770 and TBM.
