Where it hurts

Seasonal spend spikes

Black Friday and end-of-year campaigns send AI call volumes through the roof. Without caps and forecasting in place, a successful campaign can generate an eye-watering invoice.

Chatbot loop risk

Customer service and shopping assistant agents can enter infinite loops during peak traffic - a single runaway agent at scale can cost more in an hour than your daily AI budget.

Margin pressure

Retail margins are thin. AI costs that aren't actively governed erode contribution margin on your highest-volume SKUs - and most retailers don't know it's happening.

Customer data exposure

Personalisation and recommendation engines process customer PII and payment-adjacent data on every call. That puts them in scope for the Australian Privacy Principles and, where card data is involved, PCI DSS - without a governance layer, you can't show what data reached which model.
