Every technology dollar placed, explained and tied to the books.
“What does each capability and application cost to run, all in?”
Dotwork runs TBM on the same model as strategy, architecture and delivery. Cost from the ledger, cloud bills, labor and contracts is allocated to the applications, capabilities and services it supports, and anything that did not allocate stays visible instead of hidden.
Built for
- CIO
- Head of IT finance
- TBM office lead
- IT finance analysts
- Business unit IT partners
- Enterprise architects
Where to start
Cost AllocationStart with cost allocation on the reference TBM model. Planning, cloud and AI cost build on the same numbers.
The pressure
The cost model is a black box, and it takes too long to build.
TBM programs stall in implementation: towers mapped in spreadsheets, allocation rules nobody can explain and a Bill of IT the business does not trust. Meanwhile cloud, SaaS and AI spend grow faster than the model can keep up with.
What it looks like today
- Allocation logic only one analyst understands
- Business units dispute their showback
- Cloud, SaaS and AI spend outside the cost model
- Application cost disconnected from architecture and portfolio decisions
The questions you can finally answer
Your questions, answered from one model.
Each answer comes from the same connected model, so the numbers agree from one question to the next, and every one opens into the solution that holds it.
“What does each capability and application cost to run?”
Cost allocated from the ledger to towers, services, applications and capabilities.
In Cost Allocation“Where will technology spend land this year?”
Technology plan, budget and actuals compared on the same model as the cost.
In Budgeting & Forecasting“Is the cloud bill tied to what it is for?”
Cloud usage carried to the products, teams and budgets it serves.
In Cloud Spend Optimization“What does each AI workload cost?”
Token and model spend allocated like every other technology cost.
In AI Token Economics“Which vendors overlap, and what does each one serve?”
Contracts linked to the applications and capabilities they pay for.
In Procurement & Commitments“Which applications should we keep, and what do they cost?”
Each application’s full cost beside its fit, owners and dependencies.
In Enterprise ArchitectureWhat changes
What changes for your team.
A cost model built from a blank page
A reference TBM model, shaped to how you run
Allocation rules hidden in spreadsheets
Every allocation explained, with unallocated cost shown, not buried
Cloud, SaaS and AI outside the model
Cloud, SaaS, labor and AI in the same cost model
A Bill of IT the business disputes
Showback that traces each charge to the service and usage behind it
The solutions behind it
Start with one. Add the next when you need it.
Each solution you add reads and writes the same Enterprise Operating Model, so it adds context instead of another silo.

ExploreMethods and frameworks
Runs the methods you already use.
Dotwork does not ask your team to adopt a new method. The frameworks you run become views over the same model.
The model underneath
Every team, one model.
Executives, finance, architecture, the portfolio office, risk and the AI office each open their own views, over the same Enterprise Operating Model. When one team changes something, every other team sees it, and Dotwork AI reads all of it, stopping where the decision is yours.
