Run the most consequential portfolio in your company with the instruments a CFO would expect.
Your organization is placing millions in AI bets this year. Vane Loop turns them into a governed portfolio — every use case captured, priced, and defensible — so the bets that compound get the credit and the capital they deserve.
For Heads of AI, CDOs, and the CFOs sitting next to them
WHAT VANE LOOP DOES
Three things every AI program should be able to do.
Capture every cost
AI spend usually scatters across a dozen budget lines — cloud, vendor contracts, headcount, model APIs. Vane Loop pulls it into one place, so you and your CFO can see exactly where the money goes and what it is buying.
Evidence every outcome
Fund on evidence rather than enthusiasm. Vane Loop shows which AI investments delivered, with the numbers to prove it, so the cases that work get the credit and the ones that stall get an honest post-mortem.
Defend every decision
When the board asks how the portfolio performed, the answer is already built: a live audit trail, continuous re-pricing, and a methodology you can stand behind, instead of a deck reassembled from memory each quarter.
THE FRAMEWORK
The VANE Loop Framework
Four board-level questions. Finance-grade answers. The governance instrument that answers what a CFO and board actually ask — continuously, not just at funding time.
Value
Build business cases that survive CFO scrutiny. CapEx, OpEx, COGS, SG&A, cash flow, and ROI per use case. Stress-test the portfolio under uncertainty with Monte Carlo simulation.
Adoption
Know what your org can actually deliver before you commit. AI-led assessments score platform readiness, agentic readiness, and feasibility across dozens of interdependent drivers.
Navigation
Continuous course correction, not annual planning drift. Strategic roadmap with portfolio maturity curve. Quarterly true-ups that reconcile plan vs. actual and explain variance.
Execution
Platform decisions that enable scale, not block it. Gantt-style monthly tracking. Board-ready PowerPoint exports for CEO, CFO, and CDO in one click.
Turn Data & AI Into Outcomes That Stick
AI is moving fast and many organizations respond with pilots that never scale. This book shows how to align value with feasibility so initiatives are chosen and shaped based on what creates impact and what can realistically be executed.
- Build business cases that survive CFO scrutiny
- Quantify hidden costs before they compound
- Assess what your organization can realistically execute
- Translate technical progress into financial language
The system of record your AI portfolio has been missing.
One platform to capture every AI use case, score it on value and feasibility, model financial outcomes, and defend the portfolio in front of a board. The Vane Loop Agent extracts parameters from your documents and guides structured assessments so even qualitative inputs become quantifiable.
- AI-led assessments score platform readiness, agentic readiness, and feasibility across dozens of interdependent drivers
- Finance-grade tracking with CapEx, OpEx, SG&A, COGS, and cash flow per use case; or stay coarse with qualitative 1–10 scores when exact numbers aren't available
- Strategic roadmap with interactive timelines connecting products, initiatives, and outcomes in a clear, compelling visual format
- Three C-suite PowerPoint exports in one click: CEO strategic overview, CFO financial analysis, and CDO platform roadmap
Who We Are
Vane Loop is built by a team of senior executives who have run these programs, sat in these board meetings, and managed the gap between AI ambition and P&L reality. Karl Ivo brings capital allocation experience. Mario brings platform architecture. Experienced executive advisors with data and AI expertise open C-suite doors on day one. We built the governance instrument we needed and didn't have.
HOW TO ENGAGE
Two doors into Vane Loop.
Every engagement starts with a 90-day fixed-fee pilot. No per-seat pricing. No tier selection. One pilot, one named deliverable. The difference is where you come from.
