AI CENTER OF EXCELLENCE
Run an AI CoE with AI — surface the blind spots and connect data, AI, and financial outcomes.
The CoEs that last are the ones whose outputs connect to the P&L. Vane Loop gives your AI CoE the instruments a CFO would expect: it surfaces the data and AI blind spots and ties data, AI, and financial outcomes together, so the work you fund shows up in the numbers.
THE PROBLEM
Three things your CoE can do from day one.
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 AI 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 ENGAGEMENT
Day 90: your CoE has instruments a CFO would recognize.
A governed portfolio
Every active and pipeline use case captured, scored on value and feasibility, priced with finance-grade P&L. No more spreadsheets. No more Notion boards. A single system of record your CFO can audit.
Decision audit trail
Every funding decision logged with rationale, scores, and financial projections at the time of decision. When a use case is killed, the record shows why. When one succeeds, the investment case is there to reference.
Board-ready artifact
A quarterly portfolio output that a non-technical board can read: which bets we placed, what they cost, what they returned, and what we're recommending next. Produced by the platform, not assembled by your team.
Running cadence
Quarterly OODA loop established: re-price the portfolio, reconcile plan vs. actual, update feasibility scores, produce the next board artifact. The CoE has a rhythm that survives personnel changes.
FOR AI LEADS
Vane Loop is a framework your team runs, not just a tool you configure.
Real governance comes from owning the framework, not just buying a tool. Vane Loop is built so your CoE owns it: the scoring methodology, the financial model, and the board cadence all sit with your team.
The 90-day pilot is structured so that by day 90, your team is running the framework end to end: the scoring methodology, the financial model, and the board artifact cadence. The founders are embedded at kickoff and wrap-up, a delivery partner handles execution, and your team drives it from there.
- Fixed-fee 90-day pilot with no per-seat pricing, no tier selection
- Founders embedded at kickoff and wrap-up
- Your team owns the framework and IP at close
- Quarterly cadence running before day 90 ends
BOOK A PILOT
Every engagement starts with a 90-day fixed-fee pilot.
No per-seat pricing. No tier selection. One pilot with a named deliverable: a governed AI portfolio your CFO can read and your board can act on.
