The Multi-Client AI FinOps Engine.
Six specialized modules designed to turn developer token streams into structured client invoices, proactive budget safeguards, and true retainer margins.
AI Expenditure & Cost Velocity
ABC AI Agency • October 1 – October 31, 2026
SoftWritely estimates request expenses in real-time from prompt/completion tokens and model rate cards, then reconciles against actual provider monthly statements to expose tier minimums, rounding, and discount offsets.
Multi-Provider Spend Breakdown
Consolidated cost distribution across evaluated LLM provider endpoints
| Provider | Monthly Spend | Share | Tokens | Requests |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| OpenAI | $428.50 | 42.1% | 18.4M | 41,200 |
| Anthropic Claude | $312.20 | 30.7% | 12.8M | 24,600 |
| Google Gemini | $184.40 | 18.1% | 19.2M | 38,900 |
| DeepSeek | $92.30 | 9.1% | 21.6M | 52,100 |
Client AI Cost Attribution
Multi-client expenditure breakdown & budget pacing for ABC AI Agency
Proactive Budget Management & Thresholds
Four-stage pacing alerts (50%, 75%, 90%) and policy enforcement (100%)
Account pace exceeded 50% milestone. Informative notification sent to account lead.
Spend burn rate is 12% above projected pace. Early reallocation review advised.
Client A Monthly Budget ($100 cap) reached $92.40. Critical stakeholder alert dispatched.
Budget fully exhausted. Automated gateway cutoff or grace period routing policy triggered.
By default, SoftWritely dispatches non-blocking notifications (email, Slack, webhooks) at 50%, 75%, and 90% milestones so teams can intervene before budgets blow out. Automated 100% gateway cutoffs are an optional policy feature designed to protect agency margins from runaway loops.

- Unique project identifier (UUID/slug) attribution system
- Project-level token breakdown: prompt, completion, and cached tokens
AI API Usage Tracking
Capture 11 comprehensive telemetry fields per request—including prompt tokens, completion tokens, cached tokens, model names, latency, and costs.
- 11 comprehensive request telemetry attributes captured
- Prompt vs. completion vs. cached token volume auditing
- Inference latency and HTTP execution status monitoring
AI Cost Analytics
Analyze multi-dimensional spend across providers, models, clients, and timeframes. Distinguish real-time estimated request costs from reconciled invoice totals.
- Real-time request cost calculations using official model pricing tables
- Estimated telemetry vs. provider billed invoice reconciliation
- Multi-provider spend allocation graphs and data tables
Budget Management
Set hierarchical monthly budgets across organizations, clients, and projects. Receive 50%, 75%, and 90% pacing warnings with optional 100% gateway policy blocks.
- Hierarchical budget caps: Organization → Client → Project

- Clear architectural distinction between alerts and automated blocks
Profitability Analytics
Compare client retainer revenues with direct AI API, cloud hosting, and tooling expenses to calculate true gross contribution margins.
- Client retainer revenue vs. direct cost ledger mapping
- Gross remaining contribution calculation ($ amount and margin %)
- Itemized delivery costs: AI APIs + Cloud/Vector DB + Tooling
