AI Spend Audit
Per-token AI costs are falling 9-900x per year. Enterprise AI bills are still rising. The problem is structural.

THE PARADOX
The economics of AI inference are improving faster than any technology in history. Model efficiency gains, hardware improvements, and competitive pressure have driven per-token costs down by orders of magnitude.
Yet most enterprises see their AI bills increasing. The problem isn't the technology. It's the architecture: how inference is structured, where models are deployed, what gets cached, what gets repeated, and which vendors hold pricing power.

What you receive
AI Cost Map
Complete inventory of AI-related expenditure across your organization. Where the money goes, who controls it, and what drives changes.
Waste Analysis
Identification of redundant inference, over-provisioned capacity, suboptimal model selection, and architectural inefficiencies.
Optimization Roadmap
Prioritized interventions ranked by effort-to-impact ratio. Which changes produce savings fastest, which require architectural work.
Model Selection Review
Assessment of current model choices against task requirements. Where you're over-buying capability, where you're under-investing.
Dependency Risk Assessment
Analysis of vendor concentration, pricing power exposure, and strategic alternatives. How locked in you are and what it would take to change.
GOOD FIT
- Monthly AI spend exceeds $5,000
- Multiple teams or products using AI inference
- Uncertainty about what you're actually paying for
- Suspicion that costs could be lower
- Authority to act on recommendations
NOT A FIT
- Single application, simple architecture
- AI spend under $1,000/month
- Looking for implementation help, not diagnosis
- No authority to change vendors or architecture
- Need immediate results (this takes 2 weeks)
BEYOND THE FEE
The audit produces a reusable framework for ongoing cost management. You keep the methodology, not just the findings.
For organizations with more complex optimization needs, the audit often leads to a follow-on sprint focused on implementation. But the audit is complete in itself.
