AI cost and performance optimization

Cut your AI bill. Keep your AI.

Tokenduction audits, optimizes and governs token spend for organizations scaling AI, so cost per outcome falls while adoption keeps growing.

Built for regulated industries: banking, lending, insurance and pharma.

The problem

AI costs don’t grow in a straight line.

Token bills behave nothing like software licenses. They rise with every user, every agent loop and every document sent to a model, and most of that spend is invisible until the invoice arrives.

Spend you can’t see

A large share of AI spend has no clear owner. It sits across copilots, model contracts, APIs and business-unit tools, so overruns surface only after the money is gone.

Agents that compound

Agents resend growing context on every step. A session twice as long can cost four times as much, and the same task can vary widely in token use from one run to the next.

One model for everything

Most teams send every request to the most expensive model, including simple lookups that a lighter model or plain code would answer faster and for a fraction of the cost.

The method

From the red to the black, in three steps.

See the red

A token audit maps every AI dollar to an owner, a workflow and an outcome. You get a baseline of cost per outcome, not just cost per token.

Typical duration: [2 to 4 weeks]

Cut the red

We apply the levers that matter for your workloads, measured on your real queries, with quality checked against a benchmark before anything goes live.

Stay in the black

Budgets, routing rules, alerts and forecasts keep spend predictable as adoption grows, including AI projects you have planned but not yet launched.

The levers

Six levers do most of the work.

01

Remove AI where it isn’t needed

Lookups, rules and calculations run faster and cheaper as plain code.

02

Route by complexity

Simple requests go to lighter models; frontier models handle hard reasoning only.

03

Cache what repeats

Fixed instructions, schemas and policies are reused, never paid for twice.

04

Trim the input

Send summaries and relevant sections, not whole documents or raw tables.

05

Cap the output

Structured, right-length answers cut the most expensive tokens.

06

Limit agent loops

Retry limits and stop rules keep agents from burning tokens in circles.

Move the sliders to estimate your current annual spend and what a typical optimization range could save.

Annual savings

Estimates only. Actual savings depend on your workloads and are confirmed during the audit.

Security first

Lower cost without lowering your guard.

Access controls stay intact.

Row-level security and permissions remain where they are today.

No business data cached.

Only fixed instructions and schemas are reused.

Guardrails stay in place.

We change when security checks run, never what they check.

Every route is logged.

Each request records its model, cost and time for audit and chargeback.

How we work

Start small. Prove it. Then scale.
