Compare cost per accepted AI result.
Acta compares the available cost evidence for each accepted result. It labels costs as measured, modeled, externally billed, or unknown and records the assumptions behind every option.
- Free for selected design partners
- One live workflow: current setup plus two to four alternatives
- 14 days after access and artifacts are accepted and the start is confirmed
Cheap tokens can create expensive work.
Token price does not capture the cost of failed or repaired work. The assessment includes retries, verification, engineering effort, and outside infrastructure charges where the evidence allows.
Compare costs using the result the business accepts.
- Cost per accepted result where evidence allows
- Each amount labeled as measured, modeled, externally billed, or unknown
- Annual value and production volume stated
- No savings claim without accepted quality and enough evidence
- Keeping the current setup remains a valid answer
Compare every option by the same rule.
Acta manually compares the current production configuration with two to four agreed alternatives on one live workflow.
Your team approves one pass/fail measure that applies to every option. Required failure boundaries and missing evidence remain explicit.
The decision record covers quality, latency, cost, assumptions, missing evidence, and the resulting answer without including prompts or responses.
Costs are labeled as measured, modeled, externally billed, or unknown. The record states the evidence coverage for each result.
This assessment does not include implementation, production traffic changes, model training, or deployment. Acta does not automatically promote a change into production, and savings are not guaranteed.
- Availability
- Free for selected design partners
- Starts
- After Acta accepts the required access and artifacts and confirms the start
- Workflow
- One live, stable production workflow
- Current setup
- One current production configuration baseline
- Alternatives
- Two to four agreed models or configurations
- Acceptance measure
- One customer-approved pass/fail measure
- Answer
- Keep, change, reject, or more evidence needed
The right answer may be to keep the current setup.
The assessment uses a measure your team approves and does not require a purchase from a model or infrastructure provider.
Keeping the current setup and gathering more evidence are valid answers. The assessment does not require a new provider, routing layer, model training, or infrastructure purchase.
Who should apply
Acta selects design partners whose applications fit the available assessment capacity and fixed scope. Applying does not guarantee selection.
- One live, stable production workflow
- A decision that is due within 60 days
- Existing evidence such as traces, an evaluation set, human reviews, or failure examples
- Required access and artifacts that Acta can review before confirming a start
- One acceptance measure your team can approve before the assessment starts
Does Acta guarantee savings?
No. An alternative must first meet the agreed success criteria. The assessment may show that the current setup should stay, that an alternative should be rejected, or that more evidence is needed.
