- Unit economics as code for AI-native teams.
- Compare pricing, infrastructure, and AI spend before it ships.
+ Know your AI costs. Protect your margin.
+ Cost modeling for teams building AI products.
+ A new feature changes more than the product. ProfitCtl helps you model the spend,
+ compare your options, and decide what to ship.

See the effect on revenue, recurring margin, and cost per user. +3. **Set the limits before you ship.** Test margin and cost targets, including growth and tail risk. Keep the decision evidence in your review. -- **Compare decisions before commitment.** Evaluate pricing, infrastructure, model, API, and contract choices side by side. -- **Model recurring-margin risk.** Simulate growth and stress, then test explicit profitability covenants. -- **Make cost assumptions inspectable.** Track fixed and variable costs, payment fees, calibration inputs, and source provenance. +## Inspect the assumptions behind the answer + +A cost estimate is useful when you can explain it.
