AI Spend Control

AI costs now arrive as per-token bills that grow with every agent loop, plus seat licences nobody checks against use.

How we approach it

Put an LLM gateway in front of every model call and meter spend by team and by use case. Route routine requests to smaller models, cache repeated prompts and move non-urgent work to batch pricing. Review seat usage every quarter, and report cost per completed task rather than per token.
