AI billing has gotten too opaque for companies to take vendors at their word.
That’s where @Vauditapp comes in. We independently audit AI billing and usage so companies can see what they’re actually paying for.
Thank you @theinformation and @LauraBratton5 for the coverage.

@MichaelHahn26@VauditApp@theinformation@LauraBratton5 Most of the optimization effort goes toward optimizing token usage, while far less goes toward actually scrutinizing the invoice. That's a gap worth correcting.
We've audited token spend across 50+ AI-powered businesses since
March. What we found surprised even us.
5-10% recoverable through billing and reconciliation audits alone. Up to 20% more through optimization.
Most of it from retries, oversized context, and the wrong model running simple tasks.
That's why we built Token Audit: an independent ledger that reconciles your actual AI usage against provider billing.
What excites me most isn't the refunds. It's where this is going - AI Financial Governance is becoming its own category.
Kept this in limited beta until now. Today it's open to everyone.

One thing I keep noticing: everyone's obsessing over model quality, agents, benchmarks.
Almost nobody's checking the bill.
We've been auditing AI token spend for months now. Retry storms charging for outputs nobody saw. Premium model running simple tasks. Context windows ballooning quietly until the invoice lands.
At @Visa 's ~1.9 trillion tokens a month, @Meta 's 60 trillion in 30 days, these aren't small mistakes anymore.

The future AI problem isn't intelligence.
It's control.
AI agents can now decide, act, execute, and escalate without human involvement.
Gartner predicts 15% of work decisions will be autonomous by 2028.
Autonomous AI needs independent verification.

5–10% of AI spend is recoverable.
That's the average across 50+ AI businesses we've audited since March.

AI adoption was the first challenge.
AI accountability is the next one.
Only 1 in 4 AI initiatives are meeting expected ROI targets.
Eventually every AI program faces the same question:
Can you prove the value?

The AI conversation is shifting.
Not intelligence. Economics.
The question is no longer:
"Can we deploy AI?"
It's: "Can we explain and control what we're paying for?"
The next phase of AI is accountability.

Platform reporting shows performance.
It does not verify billing.
If repeat invalid traffic is still being billed, that’s a financial control problem.
Performance visibility ≠ billing verification.
AdID verifies ad spend independently.

Digital ad spend is scaling. So is billing complexity.
A recent 90 day audit identified $15,858 in removable non-human charges.
28 repeat IPs.
Same fake users.
Billed across consecutive months.
Performance visibility is not billing verification.
AdID: https://t.co/aHq8GfA7e1
AI costs can spike 50%+ in a month.
Pricing keeps changing.
Dashboards show usage, not verified bills.
Errors slip through:
Wrong models. Pricing mismatches. Unchecked
charges.
Not an engineering problem.
A finance one.
Visibility ≠ verification.
