Why it matters

Every token-cost dashboard an engineer builds eventually answers to someone in this room — the CFO deciding whether an agent's output counts as real savings or just a renewed budget line to defend.

The tokenmaxxing angle

The report's framework — separating hours saved from capacity released from actual revenue or cost outcomes — is the finance-side mirror of per-token cost tracking that practitioners need to defend an agent budget to a skeptical CFO.

From the organizers

Discussion is built around Open Future Forum's own "CFO AI Leverage Report," covering how AI budgets move from experimental funds into core operating lines and how finance measures ROI without inflated productivity claims.
