Compare model options using production evidence.
Acta compares the current setup and alternatives against one approved pass/fail measure, then records the model, provider, policy, latency, cost, and evidence.
- 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
Small test choices can reverse the result.
A comparison can change when the model version, fallback behavior, context handling, or evaluation sample changes. Acta records the exact setup so the provider's benchmark is not the only basis for the decision.
See exactly what was tested and what the evidence supports.
- Exact current setup and alternative definitions
- Customer-approved success and severe-failure criteria
- Requested and resolved model and provider details where available
- Latency and cost tied to accepted work
- A keep, change, reject, or more-evidence-needed 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
Is this a routing project?
No. Acta does not move traffic during the assessment. The evidence may show that routing is unnecessary, that the current setup should stay, or that a later controlled change is worth considering.
