You know what you spent on AI.
You don't know what you wasted.

BurnScope detects retry storms, model misrouting, repeated context, and workflow-level overspend in your agentic AI systems. In dollars. Without changing a line of runtime code.

The Problem

Observability shows you tokens.
BurnScope shows you waste.

Your dashboards track requests, latency, and token counts. But nobody tells you which workflow is hemorrhaging money, why your support agent retried 47 times in one session, or that you're running GPT-4o on tasks a $0.15/M-token model handles fine. BurnScope does.

R

Retry Storms

Failed or duplicated calls looping within a single workflow session. Often invisible until the invoice.

avg $800–$2,400/wk wasted
M

Model Misrouting

Premium models handling tasks that cheaper alternatives absorb with identical quality. The most common leak.

avg $600–$1,800/wk wasted
C

Repeated Context

The same conversation history or system prompt resent without proportional value. Token bloat that compounds daily.

avg $400–$1,200/wk wasted
W

Workflow Overspend

Certain endpoints, sessions, or job types consuming far more than expected. No budget, no visibility, no owner.

avg $300–$900/wk wasted
How It Works

Trust first. Optimize after.
