PingFederate
PingFederate · AI Spend & ROI
Every AI dollar, mapped to your PingFederate directory.
AI spend hides in six places: API tokens, coding agents, gateways, cloud model calls, seats, and subscriptions. Larridin reconciles all six, joins them to your PingFederate org data, and measures what they buy.
PingFederate knows who your people are. Larridin adds what they spend on AI, and what it returns.
- Cost by SCIM group, department, and title
- AI Work, AI Leverage, and Agent FTE per team
- Read-only connector: nothing is written back to PingFederate

TRUSTED BY AI-FORWARD ENTERPRISES
THE LARRIDIN THESIS
Spend over output equals ROI, per team, per role, per dollar.
If you can’t link spend to output, you can’t defend the budget in either direction.
CONSOLIDATE
Six sources, one spend model
API tokens, coding agents, gateways, cloud model calls, seat licenses, and subscriptions, reconciled automatically. Every agent traced to an accountable owner.
ATTRIBUTE
Your PingFederate directory is the map
Cost by SCIM group, department, and title. The answer arrives in the language your CFO already speaks.
PROVE ROI
Output measured from real work
AI Work, AI Leverage, and Agent FTE, next to function outcomes like shipped output and lead-qual time. Not self-reports.
THE LEDGER
Spend plus org equals impact.

WHY NOW
This bill just surprised a company that builds finance software.
Rippling went all-in on AI this year, then published what its CFO found. The numbers are one company’s, but the pattern is a preview of the conversation coming to every exec team, including the ones that run PingFederate.
Get your spend view40¢
of every R&D compensation dollar was going to AI tokens at peak, on pace for 90¢ within a year.
60%
of total AI spend came from roughly 10 to 15% of employees. One engineer was burning $50K a month.
37%
July’s token bill vs. April’s, for the same ~600B tokens, once the spend was finally visible and managed.
÷
The missing half: whether any of it produced more shipped work. Spend is the numerator. Larridin owns the denominator.

FAQ
Questions PingFederate customers ask us.
Does PingFederate track AI spend?
No. PingFederate knows who your people are, not what you pay for AI. Token bills, seat licenses, and agent costs live in provider invoices and cloud consoles. Larridin brings that spend into the org structure PingFederate already maintains.
What PingFederate data does Larridin read?
Users, groups, and profile attributes via read-only SCIM sync. Nothing is ever written back to PingFederate.
Is this employee surveillance?
No. Larridin measures spend and output at the team, role, and cost-center level to answer budget questions. It is not a monitoring tool and does not score individuals for performance management.
Is there a Rippling AI Spend Console equivalent for PingFederate?
Yes. Rippling’s console maps AI spend to employee data for orgs on Rippling, and connects three vendors: Anthropic, OpenAI, and Cursor. Larridin is the equivalent for PingFederate orgs: six spend sources, joined to your PingFederate directory, and measured against output. No platform migration.
Do we have to change our AI gateway?
No. Larridin connects read-only to the sources you already use. There is no proxy to insert and no gateway migration required.
How fast do we get a board-ready number?
About a week. Connect PingFederate and your spend sources, and the first report, spend joined to org and measured against output, lands in roughly 7 days.
