FinOps

Kestrel FinOps

See, control, and optimise every dollar your enterprise spends on AI — across managed APIs and self-hosted open source models running on your own infrastructure.

Unified visibility

One dashboard across all providers. No more logging into five portals or building spreadsheets.

Budget controls

Spend limits, anomaly alerts, and per-team chargeback so finance always knows who owns what.

Cost optimisation

Model routing recommendations, prompt caching analysis, and right-sizing suggestions.

Self-hosted FinOps

GPU compute cost → $/1M token. True cost of your Llama or Mistral deployment, not just your API bills.

What we're building
Govern

Kestrel Govern

Measure, certify, and prove responsible AI usage across ethics, security, regulatory compliance, and environmental impact — all connected to the same data layer as your cost tracking.

Ethics & bias

Bias scoring, fairness testing, and explainability documentation for high-stakes AI decisions.

Security & safety

Prompt injection scanning, PII detection in outputs, access controls, and incident response planning.

Regulatory compliance

EU AI Act risk classification, NIST AI RMF and ISO 42001 alignment, audit trails and evidence packs for regulators.

Environmental impact

Carbon footprint per model run. Scope 3 AI emissions disclosure for ESG reporting — ahead of California SB 253.
