Need: Are AI costs growing without a clear picture?

AI Cost Audit

Reconstruct where AI spend goes, what useful work it produces, and what is worth testing to reduce it without hurting service quality.

Price
€10,000 excl. VAT · Fixed price
Duration
2 weeks
Who it is for
Finance, product or engineering teams with one or two live AI applications, significant or unusual spend, and an economic decision to make.
What you receive
A picture of spend checked against bills and usage data. Where the data allows, we also calculate cost per accepted result: work that meets the agreed quality criteria. You receive recommendations on what to test, what to leave alone and which data is missing.
Exclusions and limits
  • No guarantee of savings, ROI or payback
  • Not an accounting audit, certification or procurement engagement
  • Implementation, vendor negotiation and continuous monitoring are out of scope
  • Missing data remains unavailable: it is not estimated to fill the report
What is needed from you
  • Billing and usage exports, preferably without live credentials
  • A minimum map of accounts, workloads and owners
  • Retry, failure and accepted-outcome logs where available
  • Quality, security and continuity constraints that must not degrade
Work accepted when
  • Costs reconciled or residual variance made explicit
  • Repeatable allocation and formulas with visible missing data
  • Options comparable by estimated savings, confidence, effort and risk
  • One immediate decision with test, success, stop and rollback
Payment
50% at start · 50% at delivery · proposal valid for 14 days
First response
Fit assessment within 2 business days

Duration
4–6 weeks
Who it is for

  • Company-wide rollout
  • Production SLA
  • Integrations that do not affect the decision
What is needed from you
  • Chosen use case
  • Legitimate test data
  • Operational owner
  • Success criterion

Need: Is an AI agent already in use, but not reliable enough?

AI agent hardening and control

Reduce unwanted actions and excessive permissions in an AI agent, and test what happens when something goes wrong.

Price
From €12,500 excl. VAT · Assessment and agreed fixes
Duration
3–5 weeks
Who it is for
Teams with a concrete agent, an accessible repository and defined operational responsibilities.
What you receive
The findings, with any vulnerabilities ranked by risk, and the agreed fixes to address them.
What we test (the classes that apply to your agent, within the agreed scope)
  • Hidden instructions in emails, documents or pages the agent reads (direct and indirect prompt injection)
  • Permissions and tools beyond what the task needs: unauthorised actions, access to other customers’ data or accounts
  • Misuse of connected tools, including through MCP (the protocol that connects the agent to tools), and chains of actions that bypass controls
  • Confidential data leaking into answers, logs or external systems
  • High-impact actions, such as payments, refunds or data changes, without human confirmation
  • Reconstructing failures: logs, traceability and recovery
Exclusions and limits
  • Formal certification
  • Full legal compliance review
  • Security checks without a concrete attack scenario
What is needed from you
  • Repository and architecture
  • Tools and credentials used
  • Available logs or incidents
  • Technical owner
Work accepted when
  • Reproducible prioritised findings
  • Fixes linked to risk
  • Regression tests and declared residual risk
Payment
