The Venturi dashboard¶
app.venturi.systems (SaaS; a self-hosted deployment serves the same app from its own instance host) is where your attributed AI estate becomes
something people act on. Every invocation Venturi sees is resolved into the
attribution graph, scored for
confidence, and materialized into fast,
filterable surfaces. The dashboard is how your finance, engineering, security, and
leadership teams read those numbers, drill into the evidence behind them, resolve
disputes, and turn attribution into chargeback, savings, and adoption decisions.
This section is the guide to the product surfaces. It explains how the app is organized, how to read what each screen shows you, and how to do the things you came to do: defend a chargeback, close a coverage gap, accept an optimization, or hand finance a reproducible export.
What the dashboard is, and isn’t
- It is a read-and-decide surface over the materialized attribution index. Tables load fast, every number names its method and freshness, and every result links to the evidence that produced it.
- It never blocks your AI traffic. The dashboard reads a pre-computed index; it is completely off the AI hot path. Nothing you do in the app can affect production inference.
- It changes attribution truth only through an explicit, audited override. Comments, assignments, and disputes are metadata about an attribution; they never silently rewrite it.
How the app is organized¶
A persistent left navigation puts Overview at the top, then the six business domains, then the platform-level destinations. You see only the destinations your role entitles you to: unentitled items are absent, not greyed out.
| Domain | The decision it supports | Capabilities |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Ownership, allocation, optimization | Value scorecard, Attribution, Forecasting, Governance, Exports, Teams |
| Adoption | Depth, readiness, program ROI | Adoption intelligence, Teams, Onboarding, Deployment readiness |
| Quality | Performance and quality-cost | Models, Coverage, Invocation feed |
| Security & Compliance | Evidence, risk, liability | Compliance, Overrides, Governance, Invocation feed |
| Capacity | Commitments and supply planning | Forecasting, Coverage, Deployment readiness |
| Sustainability | Resource and carbon accounting | AI Energy Index, Your energy & carbon |
Above the domains, Overview is the global entry point: attributed spend, coverage, and the highest-value signals across the whole estate. Beside them, Integrations manages provider and telemetry connections and Settings covers your profile, notifications, people and access, and workspace administration.
A capability lives in exactly one domain and is reached from any domain that
shares it, never duplicated. Forecasting is a Cost capability that Capacity also
uses; Coverage is a Quality capability that Capacity also uses; Governance is a
Cost capability that Security & Compliance also uses. Wherever you enter from,
you land on the same page and the breadcrumb names the capability’s home domain,
so Cost / Attribution reads the same whether you arrived from Cost or from a
link elsewhere.
A global command palette (keyboard-invoked) jumps you straight to any entitled
page, team, or attribution record: “open attribution evt_…”, “go to team
Payments”, “start export”. A global search bar resolves any of the five graph
node types, plus models, teams, connectors, policies, disputes, and saved views,
returning typed results with deep links and never crossing your tenant boundary.
The navigation is a presentation over the attribution model, not another graph: the engine’s 6 attribution layers are stored as 5 node types (Identity, Service, Team, Budget, and Invocation), with budget relationships represented as edges. The same model drives every domain above: each one is a projection of the attribution graph, not a separate product.
Start here¶
-
Tour the surfaces
Learn the screen layout, the time-basis and freshness model, saved views, and how to read any table on the platform.
-
Defend a number
Open the evidence drawer behind any attribution, file a dispute, and propose an audited override.
-
Close the gaps
Read your coverage score, work the Unknown Spend Analyzer, and turn honest unknowns into resolved ownership.
-
Save and enable
Review optimization recommendations and read cohort adoption intelligence.
-
Govern and export
Set budgets and policies, build a FOCUS chargeback export, and see your billing basis.
Principles the whole app honors¶
- Every result carries its interpretation metadata. Wherever you see an
attribution (a tile, a table row, a drill-down leaf), it carries its stage
origin, output state,
coperconfidence and band, evidence basis, model version where inference was involved, degradation state, freshness, and export eligibility. See confidence and evidence. - Unknown is shown, never hidden. Spend Venturi can see but cannot responsibly
assign renders as an explicit unknown: an em-dash, never a fabricated
$0.00. - Method and freshness are always labeled. A figure is marked
estimatedorreconciled, and stamped with the time it was current as of. Two tiles that name “total AI spend” for the same scope always reconcile to the same figure. - Access fails closed. Authentication, role checks, exports, billing, and residency routing all fail closed. Only your AI gateway traffic is fail-open.
- No prompt or completion content is ever shown, because none is ever stored.
Who uses which surface¶
| If you are… | You mostly live in… |
|---|---|
| FinOps / Finance | Overview, Governance, Exports, Billing |
| Platform / VP Engineering | Teams, Services, Models, Coverage, Optimization |
| An engineer resolving a number | Attribution detail, Disputes, Unknown spend |
| CTO / CHRO / People leadership | Adoption, Coverage, scheduled reports |
| Security / Audit | Trust center, Audit log, Exports |
| Tenant Admin | Admin (users, roles, security, credentials, audit) |
You can complete your role’s core task without a Venturi engineer interpreting it for you: that is the bar every surface is built to.
