01

The Meter Behind Every Message

Trace how prompts, generated tokens, and repeated turns become measurable usage and real cost behind every AI interaction.

02

Chat History, Context, and Token Costs

See how conversation history expands the context window and why a thirty-turn chat can cost far more than thirty isolated messages.

03

The Median, the Mean, and the Bill

Compare median and mean usage, expose the costly tail hidden by averages, and turn a user-cost distribution into a defensible monthly bill.

04

The Subscriber You Sponsor

Identify cross-subsidies between light and heavy users, then quantify when one subscriber's usage quietly consumes another subscriber's margin.

05

Three Prices, One Survivor

Stress-test three pricing structures against real usage patterns and find which plan protects value, adoption, and margin at the same time.

06

Building an AI Cost and Margin Model

Combine token usage, model rates, user mix, and price points into an AI cost-and-margin model you can use to evaluate sustainable growth.
