Keeping AI costs predictable

Runaway AI cost almost always comes from one thing: automation running on a timer that nobody is watching.

Work starts when you start it

There is no background scheduler quietly re-analysing your business every hour. AI work runs when a person briefs an objective or starts a job. Pages do not call a model just because you opened them.

Scope requests tightly

A specific objective — 'find the three products below target margin' — costs a fraction of 'analyse the business'. Narrow requests are also far more accurate.

Watch the usage views

AI economics and cost views per department show what work consumed, so a surprise is visible the same week rather than at renewal.
