Find the AI changes worth making.
Pick the right model for each use case, backed by benchmarks and ranked by savings. Make the change yourself or let an agent, then verify what improved.

A recommendation is not a saving.
Every opportunity moves through one accountable path: identified, modeled, approved, implemented, and verified against the original baseline.

Verified, not promised
A saving counts once it is measured.
Dev productivity, measured, not scored.
Early signals
Whether AI helps each team: its pull requests against a person's, matched on repository, size and week.
- Cycle time, review wait and rework
- By team, AI tool, repository or PR size
- Each change checked after
- No score, only counts

Model choice and retries change AI cost.
The same task costs more or less by model, prompt and retry. Here are 46 ways to cut it, checked on your own runs.
Model choice
8The right model for the work, at the best price for it.
- Model on evidence
- Same model, cheaper provider
Prompts and caching
9Fewer tokens sent, fewer tokens returned. Pay once for what repeats.
- Prompt size
- Context growth
How calls run
9Stop paying for retries, failures, and work that can wait.
- Retries
- Failed tasks
Seats and licenses
4Pay only for seats people use.
- Unused seats
- Seat plan
Buying and limits
6Use what you prepaid before it expires. Set a limit, and know before spend passes it.
- Commitments and credits
- List price at volume
Value
6Cost measured against the work it did.
- Cost per successful outcome
- Found by your team
Infrastructure and data
4Hosted models and the services around them. Vector stores, embeddings and the chunks a prompt reads.
- Hosted models billed while idle
- Fine-tuned models nobody calls
Opportunity to verified saving.





Cut what does not pay. Grow what does.
Connect one source and review your first opportunity.
Once a saving is verified, the next questions are how to keep it, and who may use what.
