Descripción
Idea: a finance-grade margin lens for AI products.

Problema

Jobs to be done
When my company sells AI features whose cost varies per customer and per conversation, I want revenue and attributed inference cost for every account in one table without changing how we bill, so I can price, cap or renegotiate loss-making accounts before the quarter closes.
