BYOK AI economics

AI usage belongs on your provider bill.

Ochre handles retrieval, drafting, review state, and receipts. You keep the model account, model choice, and token economics instead of buying marked-up AI outcomes from the helpdesk.

Ochre AI markup

$0

Ochre does not sell bundled AI credits or charge a per-resolution AI tax.

Model provider bill

~$25

Illustrative provider cost for 5,000 lightweight AI replies on your own Anthropic or OpenAI account.

At $0.99 per outcome

$4,950

The same 5,000 resolved answers under a common per-resolution AI pricing model.

The exact provider bill depends on model, context size, and volume. The pricing principle stays simple: Ochre charges for the support workspace, not a margin on every AI answer.
