Cost accounting only. No output, ratio, or score is attributed to individuals (Methodology §7).

Every Tier 3 ratio is an interval — the bounds are the attribution method applied conservatively vs. neutrally (Methodology §3). The three tiers are reported separately and never blended into a composite score. Workflows whose output is not priced in a system of record receive no Tier 3 ratio.

Observed, non-inferential dollars — arithmetic on telemetry, no attribution model.

One row per workflow — the only unit of analysis. Select a row for spend telemetry, output sourcing, and Tier 3 assumptions.

AI spend whose output is not counted in any system of record — reported in full, never ratioed.

“Uncounted knowledge work may be the most valuable AI use in an organization. Klade reports its spend and refuses to guess its value. Buyers who need that number guessed should hire someone else.”
