Cost Tracking

Monitoring every AI call: model used, tokens in/out, cost, cache status. Essential for profitable operations.

Why it matters

You can't manage what you don't measure. Cost tracking turns AI from an unpredictable expense into a controllable business tool with clear ROI.

In practice

Every LLM call logs: model, tokens_in, tokens_out, cost_usd, cached (bool). Our dashboard shows daily/weekly/monthly cost breakdowns. At 100 users, LLM costs are ~$0.35/day vs ~$490 revenue.
