# What will AGI do for Unpredictable OPEX Forecasting?

## Overview

Financial Planning and Analysis teams struggle to accurately project operating expenses in environments dominated by consumption-based pricing and decentralized purchasing. While fixed costs remain static, modern variable OPEX like cloud compute, API usage, and shadow SaaS subscriptions fluctuates rapidly month-to-month. This volatility breaks traditional budgeting models, leading to severe variances between projected and actual cash burn.

The friction stems from relying on historical trailing averages rather than real-time consumption data. Department heads scale usage or authorize autonomous purchases without notifying finance, leaving FP&A to discover budget overruns weeks later during the monthly close. Expenditure data lives in disconnected silos across vendor dashboards, procurement platforms, and corporate cards, preventing finance from building a unified, forward-looking model.

Legacy corporate performance management tools and static spreadsheets are ill-equipped for this dynamic cost structure. They require manual data ingestion and rely on linear extrapolation to predict future costs. When a single engineering deployment spikes cloud usage or a marketing campaign scales unexpectedly, these static models fail entirely, forcing finance teams to react to OPEX shocks rather than proactively managing runway.
