Performance Optimization
Performance Optimization
Achieve peak efficiency with numbers to prove it — a measured baseline, a clear payback period, and AI spend that stays predictable long after launch.
Our Approach
Prove the ROI Before You Scale
Two questions decide whether an optimization project gets funded again: can you prove it paid off, and did the costs stay under control while it ran? We build the ROI case with you before the project starts, so it's not a scramble afterward — a one-page before-and-after with a real number and a payback month is usually what gets the next phase funded.
What's Included
- Baseline First: We measure the current state as a hard number — hours per week, cost per transaction, error rate — before anything gets built. If you can't measure it yet, that's the first fix.
- Tie It to One Lever: Cost removed, revenue enabled, or risk reduced — one clear driver, not a blend of three that's impossible to defend later.
- Report Against the Baseline: The same metric, reported at 30, 60, and 90 days — so the number that gets the next phase funded isn't a guess.
Cost Control
Keep AI Spend Under Control
First, we help you pick a standard: a small group evaluates two or three models against your real tasks for a short, time-boxed window, then you standardize on a primary and a backup. That lowers cost and concentrates your team's workflow knowledge in one place — with a lightweight path to try alternatives when a specific need calls for it. From there, the single biggest saving is usually routing by task: a small, cheap model handles the easy work, and the frontier model is reserved for what genuinely needs it.
The Other Levers That Keep Spend Down
Routing does the heavy lifting. These are the levers we set up alongside it so spend stays predictable month over month.
Set Budgets & Alerts
Per team or application, with hard caps. We never run anything without spend alerts.
Cache Repeated Context
Common context and common answers get cached instead of paying to regenerate them every time.
Trim the Context
Most runaway bills come from stuffing entire documents into every call. We retrieve the relevant slice instead.
Track Cost Per Outcome
“$0.04 per processed invoice” is a number you can manage and defend. “$6,000 last month” is not.
Batch & Off-Peak Pricing
Anything that doesn't need to be real-time runs on batch or off-peak pricing instead of the premium tier.
Right-Size After Launch
Teams almost always over-provision the model at first. A review at 30 days usually cuts the bill.
Full Accounting
What Counts Toward the Real Cost
An ROI case built on the license line alone doesn't survive scrutiny. We count all four.
API & Model Usage
The per-token or per-call cost of the model itself, at the volume you're actually running.
Implementation & Setup
The one-time cost of building the integration, guardrails, and evaluation suite.
Your Team's Time
Reviewing outputs, handling exceptions, and staying involved — not zero, even for a well-built system.
Ongoing Maintenance
Monitoring, model upgrades, and the periodic right-sizing that keeps the bill from creeping back up.
