Test one workload before you move it.
Your current route vs. one cheaper route, on your own data, one week. Cost, quality, exactly where it breaks, and a straight verdict — move, split, or keep premium. $9,500, fixed.
One workload. One week. No production traffic.
You're paying premium rates on a high-volume workload and you suspect part of it could run cheaper. The risk isn't the bill — it's that the cheaper route breaks something you won't notice until a customer does. We find that before you move anything.
How a workload becomes a verdict
- your data
- current vs. cheaper
- cost · quality · what breaks
- verdict
What you get back
- move
- split the route
- keep premium
- not ready yet
The verdict is often keep premium or not yet. That's fine — you paid to know, not to be sold a migration.
Start with what you already have
Bring one workload and whatever you've got — your logs, current outputs, a rough sense of "good enough." We'll tell you what else we need, or whether you're not ready to move this yet and what to measure first. That answer alone can save you a bad cutover. No new instrumentation to begin, no production traffic, nothing sensitive before we've scoped it on a call.
Sample verdict
Synthetic sample, computed by our runner — the shape of what you receive.
Verdict: SPLIT. Move the clean digital invoices to the cheaper route; keep premium on scans, credit memos, VAT, and multi-page line items.
| Cost per invoice | Current | Cheaper |
|---|---|---|
| per item | $0.031 | $0.006 |
The catch the test caught: on credit memos, the cheaper route flipped the sign — a −$1,240 credit became +$1,240. Silent, and exactly why that slice stays premium.
Before you ask
Why can't my team just do this?
They can. The question is whether they'll run a clean, controlled comparison this month while shipping everything else. We do only this, in a week, with a number at the end.
Are you competing with Modal, Fireworks, the neoclouds?
No. They run your workload. We're the check you run before you move it onto one of them. When the answer is move, you move it to them.
Is this benchmarking?
No. A benchmark ranks models. This answers one routing decision for one of your workloads, on your data, and ends in an action.
Will quality drop if we move?
That's what we measure. Often it drops on a slice you'd never have guessed — and the verdict is keep premium there.
Do we have to hand over sensitive data?
No. We start from what you already have, redacted, and scope exactly what's needed on a call first.
What if the answer is don't move?
Then you saved the cutover and the cleanup. You paid to know.
What this is not
Not a tool, not monitoring, not a dashboard, not a migration, not a model leaderboard. We test one decision and hand back a verdict.
Price: $9,500, fixed. One workload. One week.
Is there one high-volume workload where premium compute may be doing work a cheaper route could handle?
