The problem

AI Spending Is Growing Faster Than Your Ability to Control It

Engineering sees token usage. Finance sees invoices. Procurement sees contracts. Product teams see customer behavior. No one sees the complete relationship between infrastructure cost, product performance, customer revenue, and business outcomes.

Traditional cloud FinOps tools were built for servers, databases, and storage. AI infrastructure introduces tokens, context length, reasoning usage, cache behavior, model routing, GPU utilization, evaluation quality, latency, and provider-specific pricing.

Premium models used for simple tasks Public list prices despite meaningful volume Committed capacity left unused Duplicate workloads across providers Unprofitable high-usage customers Cost overruns found after invoices arrive Idle GPU endpoints No clear owner for AI economics

Main value

Know What Every AI Request Costs and Whether It Is Worth It

Connect AI spending to the product, feature, agent, customer, and business outcome that generated it.

Which customers are unprofitable because of AI usage?
Where are premium models being used unnecessarily?
Which provider offers the best economics for each workload?
How much could prompt caching save this quarter?
Are reserved capacity commitments fully consumed?
Can cost be reduced without lowering output quality?

Platform

One Control Plane for AI Infrastructure Economics

Normalize spending, attribute costs to the business, evaluate alternatives, and execute approved optimization policies from one operating layer.

Normalize every cost driver into one ledger

Model APIs, cloud AI, GPU hours, credits, commitments, cached tokens, and negotiated pricing land in one finance-ready view.

Input tokens Cached tokens Reasoning tokens GPU hours Credits Commitments

Expose margin by customer and product surface

See which workspaces, agents, workflows, and customer segments create healthy margin or need policy changes.

Customer A 76% margin
Customer B 23% margin
Customer C Negative

Compare providers using cost, latency, and quality together

Recommendations are tested against real workloads, not generic benchmarks or list-price assumptions.

Document classification High confidence
Current Model X $42.0k/mo
Savings: $27.5k/mo Latency: -40ms Quality: 98%

Route work by financial and operational policy

Use premium models only when quality, plan tier, region, and contract economics justify the spend.

  • Reserved capacity before pay-as-you-go
  • Batch workloads to the lowest-cost approved provider
  • Human approval for high-cost reasoning models

Reduce waste from prompts, context, and agent loops

Detect repeated system prompts, duplicate retrieval, low-value reasoning calls, poor cache use, and runaway retries.

Prompt caching Context compression Output limits Agent budgets

Right-size self-hosted and private inference

Monitor utilization, idle endpoints, queue depth, autoscaling behavior, and cost per successful output.

GPU utilization 63%

Turn renewals and commitments into managed workflows

Track pricing, discounts, prepaid credits, renewals, overage terms, SLAs, rate limits, and underuse risk.

CTO

We expect model usage to grow 70% over six months. Should we commit to Azure provisioned throughput, purchase AWS Bedrock capacity, or stay usage-based?

Procurement Agent

Commit 55% of baseline traffic to Azure provisioned capacity, keep 25% usage-based for variability, and maintain 20% on AWS Bedrock for failover.

FAQ

Questions AI infrastructure leaders usually ask first

Does this replace our existing AI gateway?

No. It can integrate with your existing gateway, observability platform, or infrastructure.

Do we need to move all model traffic?

No. The initial analysis can use billing, usage, telemetry, and contract data without moving production traffic.

Will cost optimization reduce quality?

Recommendations are evaluated against your quality, latency, reliability, compliance, and safety requirements.

How are savings calculated?

We establish a baseline using historical usage, pricing, volume, and workload data, then adjust for traffic and product changes.

Can it manage negotiated provider pricing?

Yes. The cost ledger uses your actual contract pricing, credits, commitments, and discount structures.

Does it store prompts?

Prompt content is not required for basic cost monitoring. Advanced evaluation can use metadata, redacted traces, or customer-controlled datasets.
