New sample • for AI SaaS, AI agencies, and internal-tool teams watching token spend
Before AI usage eats your margin, find the model-routing, caching, and retry leaks.
This public sample shows how LaunchReady reviews LLM cost readiness with redacted logs only: no customer PII, no secrets, no account login, and no guaranteed savings claims.

Representative sample: AI support widget with model-cost leakage
This is a fictional/composite sample inspired by public discussion around cheaper model routing and LLM-call cost control. It is not financial advice, certified FinOps, a security audit, or a promise of savings.

Logs show model and token counts, but feature owner, cache-hit status, retry cause, and user outcome are missing.

Mini-review checklist for LLM cost leaks
1. Redacted log schema: timestamp, feature, model, tokens, latency, error/retry, cache key, and rough outcome — no PII or secrets.
2. Model-routing test matrix: list calls that can be tested on cheaper models, deterministic rules, batching, or human review.
3. Cache and retry controls: TTL, invalidation rule, duplicate-call suppression, retry caps, and daily spend alert thresholds.
4. Quality gate: downgrade only after comparison tests on representative rows; document disagreements and unacceptable failure modes.
5. Buyer-facing claims: no guaranteed savings; use clear fair-use and high-volume workflow wording before charging users.
What the paid LaunchReady add-on would return
A concise founder-readable report covering: feature-level cost map, 5–10 likely cost leaks, model-routing tests, cache/retry checklist, pricing-page wording, and a 7-day implementation plan. Production code changes or account access require separate explicit authorization.
