Why AI costs drift

AI costs change with every request.

A model, prompt, or feature change can move margin in hours — often before the team knows what to fix.

01

The invoice arrives too late

You discover the increase after the margin has already been hit.

02

Ownership is unclear

You cannot quickly tell whether drift comes from a model, feature, customer, or team.

03

Decisions are risky

Cutting cost without context can break product quality.

How Kadryn works

From raw spend to controlled decisions.

Kadryn turns AI events into attribution, signals, controls, and measurable optimizations.

01
Attribute

Connect every cost

Map every spend event to a provider, model, project, team, feature, or customer.

First cost signals after ingestion.

02
Detect

Spot drift early

Catch anomalies, spend drift, and budget risk before the invoice.

Actionable recommendations within 24h.

03
Control

Govern decisions

Define budgets, caps, approvals, exceptions, and audit trails.

High-confidence optimization plan after 7 days.

04
Optimize

Test before changing

Simulate savings before changing model or workflow.

Verified savings after implementation.

From signal to decision

Turn every drift into a traceable decision.

Kadryn connects each increase to its cause, scope, owner, and action — while keeping estimated impact separate from confirmed impact.

FAQ

What to know before connecting your first usage.

Do I need to route all traffic through the gateway?+

No. You can start with usage ingestion, then enable the gateway when you want runtime controls.

Does Kadryn store my provider keys?+

Secrets are encrypted and application keys are hashed. Kadryn is designed for controlled, auditable workflows.

How is this different from OpenAI or Anthropic dashboards?+

Kadryn consolidates providers and connects spend to projects, teams, features, customers, budgets, and decision workflows.

Can Kadryn block spend?+

Alerts work from observed usage. Active blocking requires enforceable controls such as gateway, caps, or policies.

Can I start without historical data?+

Yes. You can start with new events and enrich the analysis as usage arrives.
