Core Capabilities

The controls you need to manage
AI Costs at Enterprise Scale

From token-level granularity to automated budget enforcement, Perpetual Intelligence gives you complete command over your AI investment.

Token-Level Cost Attribution

Meter every prompt and response at the token level and attribute cost to the user, team, project, and model driving it.

  • Track input and output tokens separately by model
  • Calculate cost in real time using vendor or custom pricing
  • Attribute spend down to department, team, project, user, and session
  • Compare cost across models

Policy-Enforced Budget Controls

Set hard or soft spending limits by department, team, project, or user. Policies are enforced in real time.

  • Hard limits: block requests when budget is hit
  • Soft limits: alert and throttle before overage
  • Time-based resets (daily, weekly, monthly)

Proactive Spend Alerts

Configurable threshold alerts notify budget owners before overages occur.

  • Set precise threshold alerts
  • Anomaly detection for unexpected cost spikes
  • Warning and Limit Alerts

Automated Chargeback

Attribute AI spend to cost centers for internal billing or P&L reporting.

  • Export to CSV, PDF, or direct BI tool integration
  • Cost center tagging and custom allocation rules

Cross-Model Cost Intelligence

Compare the real cost of each model for worklfow cost optimization.

  • Real-time cost visibilty
  • Custom rate card upload
  • Track vendor price changes automatically
Real-Time Visibility

Know exactly what you're spending — as it happens

Unlike vendor billing dashboards that lag days behind, Perpetual Intelligence captures cost data at the request level, in real time. Every interaction is priced, attributed, and visible to the right people immediately.

Budget Enforcement

Set it, enforce it, never overspend again

Budget policies in Perpetual Intelligence are enforced at the API gateway level — not as after-the-fact reports. When a department hits its limit, requests are blocked, throttled, or rerouted based on the policy you define.

Enforce budgets by team, department, project, or individual user
Hard block: requests return a policy error when budget is exhausted
Soft limit: throttle to cheaper models as budget approaches
Approval workflows
Monthly auto-reset with configurable carry-forward rules
