# Cost Audit

Audit AI inference costs and optimize token usage across multi-model pipelines. This is not about cutting capabilities — it is about eliminating waste, right-sizing models, and keeping costs predictable.

## When to Use

- AI API costs growing faster than usage justifies
- Unsure whether you are using the right model tier for each task
- Want to compare cost-quality trade-offs before committing to a model
- Preparing for production traffic and need a cost baseline
- Running fleet mode or parallel agents and want to avoid runaway spend
