See what each fix is worth. Then ship the ones that pay.

A one-week audit puts a dollar value on every fix to your LLM feature. Hands-on implementation ships them inside your repo, highest saving first, so the savings reach your bill. Each step is quoted separately at a fixed price, scoped from your findings, and none is required.

    AI Cost & Reliability Audit

    Founders, CTOs and engineering leads with LLM features in production.

    AI spend is growing faster than revenue, nobody can say what a feature costs, and customers find quality problems first.

    Audit · About 1 week · $5,000 fixed · pilot free

    • Every fix priced: estimated savings per month, ranked
    • What the feature really costs per successful outcome
    • Where quality and reliability slip, and what it costs you
    • A cost model for pricing and margin as usage grows

    Optional next step · Hands-on Implementation · quoted separately

    • Highest-saving fixes shipped first
    • Fewer failures: retrieval, prompts, fallbacks
    • Quality gate, so savings never cost quality
    • Cost and quality dashboards per feature
  2. 02Follows the audit

    Hands-on Implementation

    Teams that have had the audit, or already have a measured baseline, and want the fixes shipped in production.

    The fix list is priced, but nobody on the team has the weeks to ship it safely, so the savings stay on paper.

    Implementation · 4–8 weeks · fixed price per package

    • Highest-saving fixes shipped first
    • Lower spend: routing, caching and prompt trimming
    • Fewer failures: retrieval, prompts, fallbacks
    • Quality gate in CI, plus cost dashboards per feature

    Then · Ongoing · retainer after two or more packages

    • Monthly eval and cost review
    • Model and prompt upgrades through the eval gate
    • Pairing until your team owns it

How every engagement works

The same rules apply to every audit and implementation.

  • You keep the report

    Either way. It's never tied to buying the follow-on, and you can hand the fix list to anyone.

  • The implementation is scoped from your findings

    Your report ends with a priced fix list built from your own data, not a price list.

  • Fixed scope, fixed price

    Audits are fixed. Each implementation package is fixed too, moving to a retainer only after two or more packages.

  • Changes are priced separately

    Anything outside the signed package gets its own price, agreed before the work starts.

  • Anonymized case-study clause

    Every audit agreement includes one: industry, scale and relative metrics, never your name without sign-off.

  • One implementation at a time

    I work inside one team's codebase at a time, so yours gets full attention.

* Required

For an LLM feature: cost, quality, latency or failures. For a role: the team and the work. A rough answer is enough.
