An independent research effort on AI cost governance and automation oversight.
meghIQ is currently maintained as an independent, uncompensated research project. The maintainer receives no financial compensation, royalties, or equity payouts from the project.
The platform is shared with a limited group of research collaborators for evaluation and feedback. No commercial sales, paid subscriptions, licensing, or paid services are offered at this time.
Any future commercialization, hiring, or business operations are conditional on future regulatory milestones and are not currently in effect.
meghIQ began from a recurring observation in enterprise environments: as organizations adopt AI-driven automations across SaaS platforms, cloud functions, and internal systems, they accumulate hundreds or thousands of workloads that nobody fully owns, inventories, or attributes cost to.
The downstream effects are well-documented in industry reporting on AI infrastructure cost overruns at large enterprises: duplicate spend, unattributed compute, compliance gaps discovered only during audits, and a missing audit trail for autonomous agents acting in production systems.
This project investigates open research questions in three areas — discovery and cataloging of AI workloads, cost attribution and forecasting, and tamper-evident governance and oversight. The work is conducted as an independent, uncompensated research effort and shared with research collaborators on a no-fee basis.
meghIQ is not currently offered as a commercial product or service. No paid subscriptions, licenses, or transactions are available. Any future commercialization is conditional on future regulatory milestones and is not in effect at this time.
The principles that guide how this research is conducted
The work is conducted openly as an independent research effort. Documentation, architecture notes, and findings are shared with collaborators.
Research direction is informed by the practitioners and researchers participating in the beta program — not by sales targets.
Prototypes are built quickly, tested with collaborators against real workload data, and revised based on what the results show.
The project's non-commercial status, scope, and research framing are stated plainly on every page of this site.
Independent Research
meghIQ is maintained as an independent, uncompensated research project. The maintainer receives no financial compensation, royalties, or equity payouts from the project.
What this project investigates
How can enterprises discover, attribute cost to, and govern AI-driven automations operating across SaaS, cloud, and homegrown stacks — while maintaining tamper-evident oversight?
Conditional on milestones
Any future commercialization, hiring, or business operations are conditional on future regulatory milestones and are not currently in effect. Collaborators will be notified of any such transition.
