SAVI

Know where your AI spend is heading

SAVI projects your AI spend to the end of the month by team and workflow, with a confidence range, so budget conversations start from where you are heading and not only where you have been.

Budget surprises come from not seeing the trend

Provider charges build up token by token, so by the time a month closes the number has already moved. A projection shows where spend is heading while there is still time to act.

Unplanned AI spend is easy to underestimate

Providers charge for every token processed, not only the useful ones. Forecasting at team and workflow level shows where growth comes from.

Over-budgeting and under-budgeting both cost you

Too much budget leaves capacity unused. Too little means emergency approvals and friction with engineering.

Recommendations need context

Seeing the likely saving of a change helps your team decide what to act on and what to leave.

See where spend is heading, by team and workflow

SAVI blends month-to-date spend with the recent daily rate to project spend to the end of the month, with a confidence range. The range narrows as more history builds up. Forecast snapshots are kept, so you can compare them with what actually happened.

  • End-of-month projection by team and workflow
  • A confidence range that narrows with more history
  • Forecast snapshots to compare with actuals

Plan with scenarios

Test the cost of growth before you commit. SAVI models a base, a high and a stress case for each workflow, and estimates savings from caching and model routing, so finance can see the range of outcomes.

  • Base, high and stress cases per workflow
  • Estimated savings from caching and model routing
  • Growth shown per team and workflow

Act on the right savings, not every one

Treat each saving as the start of a conversation with engineering, not an instruction. SAVI shows the estimated saving from caching and model routing, so you can weigh it against the effort and decide what fits your workload.

  • Savings from caching and model routing, with an estimate for each
  • Weigh the estimated saving against the effort before you act
  • Check the forecast after a change to see what moved
