FAQ

What is the best unit metric for copilots?

Cost per active user and cost per high-value action usually give the clearest product signal.

Can this support multitenant SaaS?

Yes. Project and workspace attribution is essential for tenant-level AI cost control.

Should I track only spend?

No. Track spend together with latency, errors, and usage outcomes to avoid false optimization.
