Limits¶
What this product does not do, and where the estimates stop. No roadmap promises here — just the current boundaries, stated plainly.
Product boundaries (by design, not omission)¶
- No live proxy or gateway. We never sit in your request path. The audit is offline analysis of logs you already have. (X-01)
- No enforcement. We report waste; we never act on your account, set budgets, or block calls. (X-02)
- No multi-org RBAC or SSO. One email, one account, magic-link sign-in. (X-03)
- No AI-written report text. Every sentence in a report is a template; every number is deterministic arithmetic. (X-04)
- Plain server-rendered pages, no SPA. (X-05)
Methodology caveats¶
- Aggregate-only exports underestimate. If your provider export carries daily aggregates instead of per-call records, per-call detectors (retries, loops, caching) cannot run at full power; the report says which detectors ran degraded.
-
Unpriced models are excluded, not guessed. Calls on models without a verified rate card are listed and left out of totals.
-
Cache-write floors. Cache savings subtract estimated write costs; where write windows cannot be estimated, a 0.7 haircut applies. These floors mean our cache numbers are lower than most tools' — deliberately.
-
OpenAI cache-write counts are a tracked gap. OpenAI usage exports do not carry per-call cache-write counts, so the write side of cache simulation is estimated from cache-lifetime windows for OpenAI traffic. Anthropic exports carry both fields natively.
- Downgrade savings assume quality holds. Every oversized-model finding says so explicitly; we can prove the price delta, only you can prove the quality equivalence.
- Monthly figures are extrapolations of your observed window (× 30 ÷ observed days). Send a representative window — a quiet weekend sample will under-report.
Operational limits¶
- Uploads to 200 MB per audit (larger sets: split by time range).
- One audit runs per credit; processing beyond the concurrency cap queues, with position visible in the status API.
- Report links expire after 30 days; raw uploads purge after 7. Download your PDF.
