Database, inference, storage, and ops. What we spent running proposal workloads over our first year, broken down by category. Where the cost curves went where we expected, and where they surprised us.
The claim-verification cost profile, stage by stage
Per-claim verification is the defense against citation hallucination. It also costs real money. A breakdown of token costs at each stage of the verification pipeline, with the numbers we actually see in production.

How we cache partial drafts across proposals without introducing stale-answer risk. The cache key design, invalidation rules, and the directional cost impact we measured internally.

How we keep RAG spend predictable per tenant. Daily budgets, model-tier fallbacks, and burn-rate alerts before the bill spikes — with the dashboard and the rules.
