About this project

AI features have real costs per request. Senior AI PMs are paid to model these — token consumption per workflow, model choice trade-offs, caching strategies, and the pricing decisions that make the unit economics work. Pick a real (or hypothetical) AI feature and build the full cost model. Stress-test with traffic scenarios.

Why build this in 2026?

AI cost runaways have made unit-economics modeling a board-level concern. AI PMs who can do this are scarce.
