The Hidden Cost of AI Workflow Waste
Most teams can't say how much of their model spend is waste. This report gives that waste a unit — the Croms™ metric — and a four-step method to remove it before a single token is spent.
What's inside
The four sources of waste
Cost, latency, failure risk, and structural inefficiency — and how each one quietly inflates your model bill.
The 4-step measurement framework
Classification → Baseline → Croms → TCWO, the exact method for turning invisible waste into a number.
A worked example
A 5-step workflow taken from ~$264/mo to ~$156/mo — a 41% recovery without changing vendors.
A 30-day action plan
A repeatable monthly loop your team can run to compound savings across every workflow.
