A credit score for your AI spend

One number that tells you if your AI spend is working.

One agent looped for nine days on a shared key. The invoice showed one number and couldn't say which agent, which user, or why. Kenda is also one number, the Kenda Index, except every dollar under it has a name.

One agent, one retry loop, nine days.
The blind spot

Run the audit on your own stack.

Three questions. “I'm not sure” counts as a no.

Kenda answers all three in two clicks.

Why the gap holds

Your tracer can't see the budget. Your FinOps platform can't see the token.

Neither one can be retrofitted into the other. Kenda starts from the token event, where the dollar and the agent are the same record.

Name the spend. Six ways. Two clicks.

The same dollar, sliced by sub-agent, agent, user, team, workflow, or API key. One shared key stops being a black box.

Reconciled to the invoice

Every dollar, reconciled to the invoice finance already trusts.

Measured and billed meet at the same grain: day, provider, model. When finance asks why the number is the number, every dollar traces back to a dated event, not an estimate.

The detector panel

Reconciliation proves the number. The panel shows whether it bought real work.

A total can be exactly right and still be money that bought nothing. That is what the Kenda Index scores, and these named detectors are why you can trust it: one per failure mode, each with its own confidence. The Index is the verdict. The detectors are the evidence.

Forecast

Predict the bill before it lands, with a confidence you can act on.

The forecast anchors to your weekly rhythm, so a normal Tuesday dip does not move it. A real shift re-anchors it, widens the band, and lowers the confidence honestly until the new pattern fills in.

The map

Every tool you've tried sits in one of two corners. The corner that matters is empty.

Token-granular on one axis, finance-legible on the other. Kenda is built for the corner that has both.

About us

Built by a founder tired of an invoice no one could explain.

Kenda is a one-founder company. I'm Lara. I wrote the ingestion, the pricing pipeline, and the reconciliation view where finance and engineering read the same number. Sebastian helped build the early product and now advises on the hard calls. Reach either of us directly.
