AI
OpenAI
Roiva books OpenAI spend to the initiative that ran it, project by project, so each AI initiative's ROI is net of what its models actually cost.
What it answers
What each AI initiative's OpenAI usage costs, so its ROI is net of the model bill
What Roiva reads
Usage by model and cost by line item and project, from the Admin API. Never a prompt or a response, or which user or key made a request.
Setup
An Admin key, created by an OpenAI organization owner
What you can measure with OpenAI
Spend by project
Link a project to an initiative and it books that project's spend whole, as token cost, from OpenAI's own cost report.
openai.usage.spend
Shared spend, split
Spend from projects no initiative claims is split between the initiatives that share the bill, by the weights you set.
What nothing carries
AI Spend shows OpenAI's bill beside what initiatives booked, so spend attached to nothing is visible rather than lost.
Unit cost over time
Cost per request and per million output tokens, month by month, to see whether a model or prompt change made each answer cheaper.
openai.usage.cost_per_request
openai.usage.cost_per_million_output_tokens
A worked month
September's OpenAI bill, across three projects
Token cost, booked from OpenAI's cost report, for September
| Support Assistant project, linked to the support initiative | $4,180 | OpenAI |
| Sales Copilot project, linked to the lead-scoring initiative | $2,240 | OpenAI |
| Default project, linked to nothing | $500 | OpenAI |
$4,180 + $2,240 + $500
$6,920 billed for September: $6,420 booked to two initiatives, $500 attached to nothing
The support initiative's cash ROI sets its $4,180 against the cash value it earned that month, so a cheaper model shows up in the ROI, not only on the invoice.
Illustrative figures. Roiva keeps every input with the entry it calculates, and none of it counts until it's approved.

What gets synced
Roiva writes these metric observations on each sync. Reference the key in a value formula to use this data in your ROI calculations.

What Roiva keeps
Reads: Usage by model and cost by line item and project for the last 3 months, from the Admin API. Never a prompt or a response, and never which user or API key made a request.
Keeps: Records of cost lines and usage by model, plus the totals worked out from them.
How to connect
You connect OpenAI from inside Roiva, so you need a Roiva workspace first. Sign in to connect it now. New to Roiva? Start free with your work email, take the free assessment and create your workspace at the end, or request an invite.
- In OpenAI: Sign in as an organization owner and go to platform.openai.com/settings/organization/admin-keys
- In OpenAI: Create an Admin key (starts with sk-admin-) — a regular project or user API key cannot read usage or cost
- Back in Roiva: Paste the Admin key here and save the connection
- Back in Roiva: The connection page checks each step and says what's missing. Once it's all ticked, click Test Connection
- Back in Roiva: After connecting, link this connection to an initiative on the Initiatives tab
