The AI Touchstone suite

Enterprise AI spend lacks the certainty of success

Successfully moving to an AI enabled business model relies on several key stages. Yet, with all the focus on the models, there are few helpful tools and methods to support success.

Without the ability to build, register and reuse applications, calculate ROI, and monitor and control costs, there is no guarantee of success or demonstrable business value.

The AI Touchstone suite of products will help you successfully use generative AI and agents for operational efficiencies and customer solutions.

The platform

One accountability stack, from first experiment to post-production governance

Each module covers one stage of an AI application’s life. Together they keep cost, ownership and value connected to the same record, from the first prototype to the day an agent is retired.

  1. Stage 1 · Experiment

    Foundry

    Business subject matter experts build agents in a secure, multi-model workspace.

  2. Stage 2 · Productionise

    App Registry

    Proven applications are registered, owned and reused.

  3. Stage 3 · Prove value

    Attribution Engine

    Spend is tied to validated business impact.

  4. Stage 4 · Operate

    Operations Dashboard

    Every model call is metered as a financial unit.

  5. Across every stage · Govern

    Assurance layer

    Honest confidence, audit trail and security controls.

Enable subject matter experts to create agents and applications themselves, without waiting for an overstretched technology team, delivering quicker and more effective results.

Foundry ensures promising ideas start delivering measurable enterprise value quickly.

  • Secure environment

    Experiments run in an isolated workspace, inside your own controls.

  • Multiple model support

    Choose the right model for each task to ensure effective usage.

2App Registry

Take proven applications from prototype to production.

Without the ability to move a project from prototype to production, the work risks becoming a science project.

Enabling others within the organisation to reuse and potentially adapt proven applications brings economies of scale.

  • Listing

    Every agent registered with owner, version and workflow.

  • Policy and access

    Scoped permissions, revoked the moment an agent goes idle.

  • Regularising and decommissioning

    Dormant agents retired on schedule.

One registry to manage, deploy and govern AI agents throughout their lifecycle.

3Attribution Engine

Demonstrate the business impact of AI.

Demonstrating relevant business impact is critical to maintaining funding, planning budgets and prioritising where the greatest efficiency gains can be made.

  • Multiple frameworks

    Templates that express impact in terms each function recognises.

  • Credited by contributor weight

    Value is divided between contributors, with no double counting.

  • Traceable totals

    Every total relates back to a source record that can be viewed.

A framework driven model associates application expenditure directly with validated business impact.

4Operations Dashboard

Gain complete visibility into AI execution expenses.

Detailed telemetry records model requests as individual financial units.

Track actual or forecast charges by provider, specific model and route, providing unified financial clarity across all active tools, agents and protocol integrations.

  • Every call is a span

    Each agent call is logged on its own, never blended silently.

  • Real-time roll-ups

    Spans roll up by agent, tool and MCP as they arrive.

  • Attributable to source

    Full visibility of your spend, down to the request that caused it.

Granular financial tracking records model interactions, service calls and protocol tasks precisely.
