Budgets, pools and hard gateway enforcement cost nothing — forever, for unlimited people. The paid ROI engine recovers idle credits and cuts token waste, so it funds itself.
Everything you need to give AI budgets real teeth.
Everything in Core, plus the layer that recovers money.
Self-attested at purchase from your provider invoices, trued-up once a year. No meters, no per-seat counting, never a percentage of your spend or "savings". This table is the whole price list.
| Annual AI spend under management | ROI Engine license |
|---|---|
| Under $125K | $6,000 / year |
| $125K – $250K | $12,000 / year |
| $250K – $1M | $24,000 / year |
| $1M – $3M | $48,000 / year |
| Over $3M | $96,000 / year |
The 3× rule: you buy only after your 60-day ROI Pilot's CFO-ready memo shows at least 3× the license fee in annualized identified value. If it doesn't — stay free, or extend the pilot.
Spending under ~$60K/year on AI? The free tier is probably the right product for now — your pilot memo will tell you.
Every band includes every ROI Engine feature, unlimited people. Annual billing. Renewal is a new expiry on the same license key — nothing reinstalls.
The pilot isn't a timer that starts while you're still installing. It starts when your data is ready to prove something.
~10 minutes, self-hosted. The controls and the gateway are free forever — this step alone is worth the install.
The console computes what the ROI Engine would have done with your actual traffic — idle credits it would sweep, spend it would reconcile.
Once there's real signal, activate the 60-day full-product pilot from inside the console. One click, no credit card, once per company.
The pilot ends with a CFO-ready savings memo on your own numbers. The 3× rule decides — not a salesperson.
Six months of the ROI Engine free, your band price locked for life, and a direct line to the founder — in exchange for a named reference and honest feedback.

On $1M/yr of AI spend, recovering just 5–10% of idle credits returns $50k–$100k — against a $24,000 license.
That's a 2–4× return before counting cache and routing savings — and you only ever buy after your own pilot memo shows at least 3×. The free tier proves the controls; the ROI Engine pays the bill.
Nothing breaks. After a 14-day grace period the install degrades to Core: pools, allocation, transfers, seats, dashboards, audit — and the gateway with hard enforcement — keep working. Only the ROI Engine features (cache/routing savings, the idle-credit sweep, reconciliation, FinOps, insights, creating new application pools) switch off until you renew. Existing application keys keep working and keep billing their pools — nothing in production breaks. Same license key, new expiry.
Human budgets are free — every employee gets an enforced budget at no cost. Application pools give apps and bots their own API key, a budget billed to a shared pool, and recurring funding schedules you run on demand — that's production workload governance, the layer organizations adopt once AI is in their products. People free, machines paid.
Budgets without teeth are advisory — so enforcement belongs in the free tier. We charge for what recovers money: cache and routing savings, the idle-credit sweep, reconciliation and the FinOps layer. You should never have to pay just to make a budget real.
You attest it on the order form — a real number straight off your OpenAI/Anthropic invoices, trued-up once a year at renewal. We never see your data (the product runs entirely in your perimeter), so there is no meter and nothing to dispute: your own console shows you the same figure the whole time.
Nothing changes mid-term — your price is fixed for the year. At renewal you true-up to the band you're actually in. Bands are wide (4× steps), so normal growth rarely moves you more than one step.
Install free and let it run on real usage. When your console has enough data to prove something, it offers the pilot — one click, full product for 60 days, no credit card, once per company (work email). It ends with a CFO-ready savings memo on your own numbers; the 3× rule decides. If the memo doesn't clear the bar, stay on Core — it's free forever.
No. The product runs entirely inside your perimeter. The only thing that ever reaches us is an anonymous monthly license check (license id, version, install id, and one aggregate seat count) — no names, no usage, no prompts. It even works fully air-gapped.
Install in ~10 minutes. The controls are free forever; the ROI Engine gets a 60-day pilot — if it doesn't pay for itself, stay on Core.
