Establish auditable cost controls, dynamic token routing, and fiscal governance across your multi-model AI infrastructure.
Frontier-model spend is sprawling across 3–7 providers. Without a fiscal operating policy, gateway routing rules default to the most expensive path, retries blow past budgets, and finance has zero visibility until the invoice arrives.
We codify your unit economics into your gateway — Kong, Portkey, Bifrost, LiteLLM, Shakudo — so every token is routed to the model, region, and tier with the best dollar-per-quality outcome. Auditable, reversible, finance-grade.
Every engagement begins with the Token Economics Audit. It is the mandatory diagnostic that establishes your TEI baseline — required whether or not you continue into the quarterly retainer. The Token Fiscal Governance Suite is the optional continuation: a quarterly retained engagement for organizations that want sustained governance after the audit completes.
A two-week diagnostic that baselines your TEI, exposes architectural leaks, validates sovereign compliance, and delivers production-ready gateway architecture recommendations. Required for every engagement — no client advances to the quarterly retainer without it.
The optional continuation. A quarterly retained engagement with three integrated workstreams — audit refresh, production telemetry review, and dedicated financial engineering advisory — governed by your finance and platform leaders.
Cross-border optimization study with token-leak identification across every gateway, model, and modality in your stack.
We instrument your gateways and continuously optimize routing rules against your fiscal policy as model pricing and quality move.
A quarterly steering committee with your CFO, CTO, and our principal advisors to align AI unit economics with the P&L.
The global standard for AI unit economics — a single auditable score that benchmarks your dollar-per-quality token against the market and your own historical baseline.
Provider-agnostic governance across closed-weight frontier APIs and self-hosted open-weight deployments — one fiscal policy, every model.
Once your Token Efficiency Index is baselined, the next problem is translation — turning audit findings into a working gateway configuration. Sextant is Compass Advisors' proprietary configuration intelligence engine: it ingests your TEI score, workload profile, and governance requirements, and produces a gateway-ready fiscal policy across any major AI gateway — Kong, Portkey, Bifrost, LiteLLM, Shakudo, and others — with routing rules, budget hierarchies, rate limits, and caching parameters codified and ready to deploy. No manual interpretation. No spreadsheet handoffs. A production-ready configuration in minutes, not weeks.
Works across Kong, Portkey, Bifrost, LiteLLM, Shakudo, and any OpenAI-compatible gateway — one fiscal policy, any infrastructure.
Built on the same TEI framework powering $1.2B in AI spend under governance. Configuration recommendations are auditable, versioned, and finance-grade.
Sextant closes the loop between the Token Economics Audit and live gateway deployment — the missing layer between diagnosis and execution.
Most TCO models miss the unsexy 40%: facility PUE, fabric capex, KV-cache HBM headroom, on-call SREs, depreciation, WACC, and gateway routing efficiency. Model your workload below.
The Token Economics Audit is a fixed-fee $14,500, two-week diagnostic — and the required first step for every client. We baseline your TEI, expose architectural leaks, validate sovereign compliance, and deliver production-ready gateway architecture recommendations. The quarterly retainer is available afterward by application only.
