Larridin

Companies are paying for AI seats, tokens and cloud models faster than they can say what the money bought, and Larridin was started to answer that. Its platform connects what an organisation spends on AI to adoption, skill and output across both employees and software agents. The site frames the product as a measurement layer for AI, built for finance, operations and engineering leaders.

One view of where every AI dollar goes

Spend Intelligence traces licence fees, token usage and cloud model costs to the teams, tools and agents behind them. The example dashboard on the site splits month-to-date spend between agent usage, human usage and fixed licences, and the company says it is aimed at CFOs and finance and operations teams who need to explain a budget before the next review.

Adoption, fluency and hours returned

The AI Impact product compares adoption, fluency and cost per AI hour department by department, so leaders can decide where to invest, where to train and what to scale. The sample view scores fluency out of ten and reports hours returned each week against cost. A separate adoption product looks at how deeply teams use AI by role, location and application, rather than counting licences.

Engineering output against AI spend

Developer Intelligence connects engineering output, code quality and delivery to AI spend and shows where coding agents help and where teams need support. The developer section lists a router for cutting AI costs, agent effectiveness and readiness checks, output per dollar of AI spend, effort allocation and a plain-English Ask AI feature. Workflow Intelligence maps repeated work from observed activity and tracks each automation from candidate to live against a captured baseline. The company also publishes its State of Enterprise AI report and a dataset on what companies pay for AI coding.

Founders from the early measurement era

The three co-founders are Russ Fradin (CEO), Jim Larrison (President) and Ameya Kanitkar (CTO). The founders' letter says that 25 years ago two of them helped build the foundations of digital measurement at Comscore, and that AI now needs a comparable standard. The $30M Series A was led by Pelion Ventures with existing investors Andreessen Horowitz and Gradient Ventures, plus GFT, W23, Thayer, DG Daiwa Ventures, Alumni Ventures and Cougar Capital, bringing total funding to $47M. The company says the money will go toward measurement depth, engineering and customer teams and further independent research.
