AI economics, token usage & governance

Price every model call like the decision it is.

Every AI request costs money, so see that cost by app, team and model.

AI economics in practice

Manage AI cost without losing the business story.

Connect model consumption, application demand and optimization policies to measurable AI efficiency.

01

Break down AI model spend by app, team, provider and other usage details.

02

Apply released model-routing and token-caching capabilities within configured application and endpoint policies.

03

Measure AI cost per request, workflow or business unit, alongside adoption and workload changes.

The AI FinOps capability set

Economics, tuning and guardrails for AI.

Explore each released capability, its data dependencies and the decisions it supports.

How it works

From model telemetry to economic control

Link AI consumption, policy decisions and economic measurement in a repeatable operating cycle.

01

Connect supported model billing and application telemetry

02

Allocate model and token usage to owners and workloads

03

Investigate request, model and cache cost drivers

04

Configure routing and caching controls for eligible traffic

05

Review usage efficiency and economic results over time

Built on the cloud data you already have.

These are typical sources CloudScore connects to; coverage depends on your setup and permissions.

Frequent questions

Is model routing available today?

Yes. Model routing is available now, and supported providers and setup are checked for each customer.

If usage data and a baseline are available, you can see how caching changed token use and cost.

Supported AI providers and cost detail depend on the integrations set up for you.
