What you get, and what it saves you
- The arithmetic. Tokens to words to dollars, with the conversion rates written out. Estimate a workflow's monthly bill on the back of an envelope.
- What quietly multiplies the bill. Long context, reasoning effort and retries are the three that surprise people. Each one explained with the number attached.
- Subscription or usage. The volume at which per-seat pricing beats per-call, and the questions to ask a vendor who will only quote one of them.
“Our first month was four times what we budgeted. Every dollar of the overrun was one of the three things on this sheet.”
