The Cloud and AI invoice grows every month, and nobody can quite explain why.

For the past year, alongside The Information Lab Ireland, I've been building something for it.

Today I'm announcing dataintelligence.com, to help you and your colleagues see, understand and control your ever-growing Cloud and AI spend. Here's the problem we're solving.

Industry research puts cloud waste at roughly 29% of infrastructure spend (Flexera, 2026), against a public cloud market Gartner sizes at $723bn. That is an enormous amount of money being spent on an area that is not understood.

For the first time in five years the trend is moving the wrong way, and AI workloads are only accelerating it.

It tends to be the thing nobody quite owns. Finance approves the bill, IT runs the data and AI estate, and between them the number keeps climbing.

dataintelligence works in three steps; Connect, Diagnose, Optimise. We connect to your billing data, read-only and revocable, diagnose exactly where the spend is leaking, then take the waste out. The commercial model is the trust statement.

The first 30 days are a free diagnostic. The two months after that are a free subscription. We only start charging for the subscription once we've found you savings. If we don't find any, you don't pay.

Available today for Microsoft Azure and Microsoft Fabric, with Claude landing in 2026 and AWS, GCP and OpenAI in 2027.
