Your AI bill grew faster than your roadmap explains.

Olive One reads the invoice and the architecture together and tells you what the next engineering decision will cost — before you make it.

What bill shock looks like on the invoice

Model spend climbs month over month while active usage stays flat. Retries and re-sent context are paying twice for one answer.
One line item — logging, egress, a vector store — quietly outgrows the compute it was supposed to support.
Finance asks which feature moved the bill. Engineering can name the service, not the workflow.

One workflow. One decision. A written answer.

Cost per successful outcome for that workflow, under the baseline you run today.
The engineering variables driving that cost, ranked, with the evidence behind each.
What each option you are weighing does to the number — with confidence and gaps stated.
A decision memo your CTO and CFO can both read, and a 30-day follow-up on what changed.
Analysis window: 48–72 h after inputs are complete. Exports and sanitised usage data only. No credentials, no production access.

There is no AI workflow in production or about to ship.
You want someone to implement the fix. Olive One advises; your team changes production.
You need guaranteed savings. You get evidence, ranges and stated confidence — not a promise.
You already have a team producing decision-grade workflow economics.

What do you need from us?: Billing exports, usage or trace samples, launch dates and a description of the workflow and the decision on the table. Never credentials, keys or production access.
How long does it take?: The analysis runs 48–72 hours after the inputs are complete. If evidence is missing the clock stops and you hear why.
What does it cost?: A fixed fee for one workflow and one decision, quoted on the scoping call before anything starts. No retainers, no usage-based billing.
Is this a tool or a dashboard?: No. It is a human-led review. Every number comes from deterministic calculations you can audit; no model generates a figure.
Will you change anything in our systems?: No. The review is read-only and advisory. Your team decides and implements.
Who does the work?: The person you speak to on the scoping call. There is no handoff to a junior team.
