Outcomes

# Turn AI-built software into results you can measure.

Your teams already build apps and agents with AI. Salus runs them under IT’s rules, so more teams can ship while IT stays in control. Here is what that changes for the business, in the questions your leadership asks, and how you’ll measure each outcome.

Six outcomes

## The questions leadership asks, answered

Each outcome starts with the question an executive asks before approving new software. Under it: how things work today, what changes with Salus, and the number that shows it.

The CEO asks

“Is our AI investment producing software people use?”

### AI investment turns into software in use

Today

Teams build apps and agents with AI, then wait for somewhere approved to run them. Others end up on laptops and personal accounts, out of IT’s sight.

With Salus

Builders, or the agents they work with, deploy to an approved place under IT’s rules, without a ticket for every release.

Measure it

Apps live, the teams shipping them, and deploys each month.

The CIO asks

“What’s running, and who put it there?”

### Oversight that keeps up as more teams build

Today

Each team hosts its tools its own way, so rules apply unevenly and no one can list what’s running.

With Salus

Roles at organization, space and project. Release rules set once and inherited by new projects. An audit log that shows each deploy and who started it.

Measure it

Apps under IT’s rules, and who started each deploy.

The CISO asks

“Could this put our core systems at risk?”

### Less risk to the systems the business runs on

Today

New, unfamiliar software lands beside core systems, or on hosting nobody reviewed.

With Salus

Team-built apps and agents run on managed hosting separate from core systems, with vulnerability scanning in every pipeline. IT can take any workload offline.

Measure it

Vulnerabilities flagged before release, and workloads taken offline.

The CTO asks

“Do we have to build and run this ourselves?”

### IT capacity goes back to the roadmap

Today

IT builds and maintains a hosting platform for team apps, or handles each deploy by request. Either way, it takes time from existing priorities.

With Salus

A managed platform instead of one built in-house. A builder’s agent deploys, reads logs and rolls back with that builder’s own access, so fewer routine requests reach IT.

Measure it

The share of deploys started by builders and their agents, not IT.

The CFO asks

“What will it cost as more people use it?”

### Spending you can see, app by app

Today

Shared cloud bills hide what each app costs, and tools priced per viewer cost more every time an app finds a new user.

With Salus

Usage is metered by app, project and environment, from one prepaid balance. Seats are for builders and admins. The people who use what they ship are free and need no Salus account.

Measure it

Usage per app, project and environment, from one balance.

Infrastructure asks

“Can it run where we need it to run?”

### Hosting choices that follow the business

Today

Cloud and location requirements mean building separate platforms, and moving a workload means rework.

With Salus

Choose the cloud and region for each environment: Salus Cloud in the United States or South Africa, or, with Enterprise, your own cloud account, private cloud or on premises. Ask your agent to move a full-stack app to another supported environment.

Measure it

Where each environment runs, chosen when it’s created.

Governance is what lets the investment pay off. In a June 2026 survey of more than 800 enterprise engineers and DevOps professionals, teams with full governance of AI coding were 55% more likely to report a major improvement in efficiency.

Measure it

## Every outcome shows up in Salus

Report to leadership from the console, not from a survey. Each measure is read from Salus itself, so the numbers you take upstairs are the ones the platform records.

Each outcome, what to track, and where to find it in Salus
| Outcome | What you track | Where in Salus |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Software in use | Apps live by team and project, and deploys each month | Projects and deployments |
| Oversight | Who started each deploy. A deploy an agent started shows as “Salus MCP acting as” the builder | Audit log, filtered by space or project |
| Risk | Known vulnerabilities flagged before release, and workloads taken offline | Vulnerability dashboard and deployments |
| IT capacity | Deploys started by builders and their agents rather than by IT | Audit log |
| Spend | Usage by app, project and environment | Usage, from one prepaid balance |
| Hosting choice | The cloud and region of every environment | Environments |

A first 90 days

## Prove it in a quarter

Agree the plan and the measures with your team before you start, so the review at day 90 is a reading, not a debate.

1.  Day 30
    
    ### The first apps are live under IT’s rules
    
    IT sets roles and release rules once and connects your Git provider. The first teams deploy, themselves or through their agents.
    
    Measure: apps live, teams shipping
    
2.  Day 60
    
    ### More teams ship, and fewer requests reach IT
    
    New projects inherit the release rules. Every pipeline scans for known vulnerabilities before release, and routine deploys, logs and rollbacks move to builders and their agents.
    
    Measure: deploys by builders and agents, vulnerabilities flagged
    
3.  Day 90
    
    ### Leadership sees what runs and what it costs
    
    Review the quarter from the console: what’s running and where, who deployed it, what each app uses, and what was taken offline. Then choose the next teams.
    
    Measure: all six outcomes
    

Your numbers

## Put a number on today’s path

Before you weigh any platform, size what supporting team-built software costs IT today. Change the example values to your own.

Apps and agents teams will put into use this yearCount what teams have built, or asked for, with AI.

IT hours to set up each oneHosting, access, a security review and the first deploy.

IT hours a month to keep each one runningDeploy requests, access changes, logs, patching and incidents.

Cost of an IT hour, fully loaded (US dollars)Salary, benefits and overhead, divided by working hours.

1,200

Full-time IT people

$90,000

How it’s worked out: apps × (setup hours + 12 × monthly hours), counting a full year of running for each app. A full-time person works about 1,800 hours a year. These are your estimates of today, not Salus figures.

With Salus, IT sets roles and release rules once, and builders or their agents deploy within them. Bring these numbers to a 30-minute session and we’ll work out with you what changes, app by app.
