Token cost optimization

How much is your AI overspending?

Most companies pay 2–3× more per output than they need to. TokenTrim audits and rebuilds how you use LLMs — prompts, routing, caching, models — so every token earns its keep.

A first read of your usage, no commitment.

The problem

Where your tokens leak

Four places we find the waste, in nearly every audit. None of it is exotic — it just compounds, invoice after invoice.

No cost visibility

The bill arrives as one number. Nobody can say which feature, team, or customer is driving it — so nothing gets fixed, because nobody owns the number. You can't cut what you can't see.

Self-diagnosis

Sound familiar?

If you recognize three or more of these, an audit typically pays for itself within the first month.

AI bill grows faster than usage

Usage is flat. The invoice keeps climbing — nobody's sure why.

Everything runs on one big model

One frontier model handles every task — the ones that need it and the ones that don't.

No per-feature cost visibility

The bill arrives as one number. Which feature drove it? Nobody can say.

What we do

Three phases — visibility, optimization, and scale. Most engagements run all three.

Overview

We connect AI usage to products, teams, customers, and business outcomes so every cost has a clear source.

How we do it

MapModels, vendors, products, features, and teams
MeasureCost per task, customer, workflow, and outcome
PrioritizeSavings opportunities by impact, effort, and risk

Your engagement produces three concrete deliverables

You get

  • 01Cost Baseline

    Spend by model, product, team, and workflow

  • 02Savings Priorities

    Opportunities ranked by value, effort, and risk

  • 03Action Roadmap

    What to change, in what order, and why

FAQ

Questions we always get

No — that's the deal-breaker we design around. Every change is gated behind evals built on your real traffic. If quality regresses, the change doesn't ship.

Paying too much per token?
Probably.
