What makes AI API spend chargeback-safe by team/service?
Tracking AI API spending to specific teams or services is challenging due to a lack of standardized data capture at the request level.

Without these details, organizations struggle to reconcile AI expenses, leading to potential disputes. A new open-source tool aims to help teams test their ability to trace API costs back to their source. AI
