Know where the tokens go before you change anything.
A short, fixed-scope engagement that measures your AI coding spend by job type: reading, scanning, boilerplate, edits, and decisions. You get a token map, a routing plan, and an honest estimate of the savings. If routing won't pay off for you, the audit says so.
You keep
- Token map by team, tool, and job type
- Cost per job type at current pricing
- Routing plan with the jobs that should move
- Savings estimate with its assumptions shown
Who it's for
Built for teams paying real money for AI coding tools.
- Leaders who see the AI coding bill rising and want to know why before they act.
- Finance and FinOps teams that need a defensible number, not a vendor promise.
- Organizations evaluating whether routing is worth a rollout at all.
The problems we solve
- 01
The bill has no breakdown
Invoices show seats and tokens, not what the tokens were spent on. Without a breakdown there is nothing to optimize.
- 02
Savings claims you can't check
Every vendor has a percentage. The only one that matters is the one measured on your own sessions.
- 03
Nobody owns the question
AI coding spend sits between engineering, platform, and finance, so it grows unexamined.
Process
How the engagement runs.
Clear stages, explicit decision gates, and an artifact at every step — so progress is visible and nothing depends on trust alone.
Step 01
Scope
Agree which teams, tools, and time window to measure, and how usage data will be collected.
Step 02
Collect
Gather usage and session data from your AI coding tools with read-only access.
Step 03
Classify
Sort token use by job type and attach a cost to each.
Step 04
Model
Estimate what each job would cost on a cheaper model, and which jobs must stay on the frontier model.
Step 05
Report
A written plan with the expected savings, the risks, and a go or no-go recommendation.
Deliverables
What you own at the end.
- Token map by team, tool, and job type
- Cost per job type at current pricing
- Routing plan with the jobs that should move
- Savings estimate with its assumptions shown
- Go / no-go recommendation
Typical outcomes
What changes for your business.
- A clear, defensible answer to where your AI coding money goes.
- A routing plan ready to execute, or a documented reason not to.
- A baseline that later savings can be measured against.
FAQ
Questions leaders ask us.
What access do you need?
Read-only access to usage and billing data for your AI coding tools, plus a sample of sessions. We don't need write access to your repositories.
What if the answer is “don't bother”?
Then the report says so. If your AI coding bill is small or mostly real reasoning, routing won't pay for itself.
Other services
Start the conversation
Stop paying frontier prices for routine work.
Tell us which coding tools your engineers use and roughly what you spend. We'll show you where the tokens go and what routing would change.
We respond within 1 business day. Mutual NDA available before any data discussion.
