AI Token Cost Engineering

Find and remove avoidable token use in your current AI workflow.

Inspect your prompts, model choices and call patterns, then improve the specification layer within your existing infrastructure. Use the usage evidence to define which changes are worth making.

$12,500USD · project price

Published timing: 5 to 7 days
Final scope and timing are confirmed before work begins.

The shape of the scoped work, not a client result or a finished-product screenshot.

The work today

A starting point you can recognize.

Usage logs, prompts and a growing AI API bill.

Prompt specifications, model choices or call patterns may contain unnecessary work.

The progress to work toward

Use fewer avoidable tokens within the current infrastructure.

An audit of prompts, model selection and calls, followed by specification-layer changes.

The engagement is scoped around your inputs and acceptance criteria. The outcome is a goal, not a guarantee.

A concrete engagement

What you receive. What you bring.

Included in the scope

  • An audit of prompts, model selection and calls, followed by specification-layer changes.
Read the original advertised scope

API bills grow before the architecture does. I audit your prompt design, model selection, and call patterns, then engineer the specification layer to cut token cost without rebuilding your infrastructure.

Inputs for the conversation

API usage logs + system access

Discuss access requirements first. Do not send passwords or private customer data in a public enquiry.

Agree how to judge it

Before/after usage on the same representative tasks, with quality held to an agreed standard.

An example to agree during scoping, not a claim that this evidence has already been produced for your project.

A useful fit

Consider this when…

The current architecture can stay and instruction or call efficiency is the main issue.

A different starting point

Choose another path when…

The main decision is where workloads run or whether local models fit them.

An existing native feature or a smaller change may be sufficient. The call should establish that before a build is proposed.

Evidence, with its limits

Know what you can inspect.

The process diagram explains the mechanism. It is illustrative, and it does not establish results for your workload.

Ask to review a relevant example and agree the evidence your engagement will produce before committing.

Before you commit

A clear scope comes first.

Price basis. $12,500 USD · published project price. Scope, timing and fees are confirmed in the proposal.

Operating costs. Model usage, hosting and any agreed ongoing support are separate where applicable.

Build payments. The services page advertises 50% at kickoff and 50% at delivery for builds. Confirm the applicable payment schedule in your proposal.

Support and cancellation. Confirm support coverage, cancellation and rescheduling terms before committing. A refund policy is not specified here.
