How savings are verified

How we measure and prove the dollars you save

There is no baseline

There is no baseline period, no 30-day observation window, and nothing frozen. You do not have to wait to start saving, and we never bill you against a snapshot of what you used to spend.

Per-call deltas

Savings are measured one call at a time, at the moment the call happens.

When you accept a recommendation to move a call to a cheaper model, the wrapper records which model you would otherwise have used. The server then prices both sides of that single call and stores the difference:

  1. What the call actually cost, on the model you sent it to
  2. What the same call would have cost on the model you moved away from
  3. The delta - your verified saving for that call

Your savings for a month are the sum of those per-call deltas. Nothing is estimated across a period, and a call you did not change contributes nothing either way.

Both sides are priced live

Both figures use the token prices in force at the time of the call, not prices captured when you signed up. That is the point of having no frozen baseline: when a provider cuts its prices, the delta on that call shrinks, and our fee falls with it automatically. A frozen baseline would keep billing you for a saving the market had already handed you.

The fee

We keep 10% of verified savings. You keep 90%. If a month produces no savings, there is no fee - there is nothing else to pay.

What is not counted

Only accepted model switches produce a verified saving, because a model switch is the one change where both sides of the call can be priced from the same token counts. Savings you make by improving your cache hit rate or shortening prompts show up as lower spend on the Spend dashboard, but they are not counted as verified savings and carry no fee.

Auditability

Every savings claim links to:

  • •The specific call that was optimized
  • •The model change behind it
  • •Both priced amounts and the resulting delta
  • •The token prices used, and when they applied
