Use cases · Project managers
Set a token budget for every project and ticket.
Plan what the agents may cost the way you estimate hours. After each month you see actual against token budget, ticket by ticket.
What you want to know about AI cost on your project.
- Is the project within its token budget?
- Which ticket ran over, and what was the work?
- What should the next ticket like this get?
Plan, record, compare, correct.
Every part is optional. Start with token budgets on the tickets that matter.
- 1
Plan
Type a token budget on a ticket or a project, or accept a token forecast built from similar past tickets.
- 2
Record
Token entries land on tickets through ticket keys and rules. Telemetry alone puts cost on projects; the Claude Code mod or the CLI adds the ticket.
- 3
Compare
Actual against token budget for every ticket and project, open down to each token entry's summary.
- 4
Correct
Overruns and underruns both get a look. The next token forecast moves toward what the work really cost.
Planning without getting in the way.
Nothing stops an agent
A token budget sends no alert and never stops spending. Your provider offers spend caps if you need them.
Your tickets, as they are
Tickets sync from Jira Cloud, Azure DevOps and GitHub Issues. Tickets inside tickets roll up to their parent and project.
An underrun is news too
A ticket far under its token budget may mean someone found a better way to work, or that the next forecast should be lower.
