Governing AI spend before it scales
Token cost is the visible part. Routing, prompt hygiene and agent controls are where governance pays for itself.
AI spend behaves differently from cloud spend. It grows with adoption inside teams rather than with infrastructure decisions, and it is far easier to grow accidentally.
Three controls matter early:
- Routing: send each request to the cheapest model that clears the quality bar.
- Prompt hygiene: fixed instructions and schemas re-sent on every call are pure overhead.
- Agent limits: cost caps, time limits and recursion limits stop a single loop becoming a monthly surprise.
Governance is not a brake on adoption. It is what makes adoption defensible.
