AI Cost-Per-Outcome Unit Economics Model

Paste your AI usage-and-billing export and get true cost-per-outcome for every AI system — margin-ranked, waste-flagged, and paired with a unit-economics fix.

Includes 5 customizable fields — sign up to fill them in and save your own copy.

Each row should include a system name, billing period, total spend, usage volume (tokens, API calls, or requests), and a business-outcome unit (e.g., tickets resolved, documents processed, leads scored). Do not assume you can query any system live — reason only over what is pasted here.

Outcome unit definitions (what one "outcome" means per system):
{{outcome_unit_definitions}}

Value-per-outcome benchmarks (revenue or cost-saving each outcome is worth):
{{value_per_outcome_benchmarks}}

Reporting period: {{reporting_period}}
Target gross margin threshold (%): {{target_margin_threshold}}

## Method — follow these steps in order
