WHO IT'S FOR

Who It's For and What You Unlock

TraceOptic delivers enterprise-grade AI control for every stakeholder from engineering teams to compliance officers.

🔹

For CTOs & Engineering Leaders

AI costs spiral. Model performance varies. Teams move fast — but without control, it's chaos.

TraceOptic gives you engineering-grade observability, control, and efficiency — without rewiring a single line of code.

  • Route every prompt to the optimal model for cost and performance — including vendor and model switching
  • Throttle and cache redundant usage with smart debouncing
  • Set team-wide performance thresholds to prevent drift, hallucinations, or degraded UX
  • Drill into every model interaction by app, service, or developer — all from one dashboard
🔹

For FinOps & Procurement Teams

Your AI bill shouldn't be a surprise. TraceOptic brings real-time visibility and spend discipline to every token used.

  • Forecast AI spend before it happens — across teams, tools, and regions
  • Allocate and enforce budgets by team, model, or department
  • Trigger escalation alerts when usage crosses defined thresholds
  • Track cost per KPI (e.g., cost per resolved ticket, cost per conversion) to ensure efficiency
🔹

For Compliance & Risk Officers

AI is becoming regulated. Your org needs a provable audit trail — not screenshots and Slack messages.

TraceOptic gives you complete AI traceability and policy enforcement out of the box.

  • Log every interaction with tamper-proof hashing and end-to-end traceability
  • Monitor and enforce AI usage policies across functions and vendors
  • Instantly generate audit-ready reports for ISO 42001, SOC 2, and the EU AI Act
  • Detect violations early with built-in compliance drift alerts

Why This Matters Now

AI budgets are exploding, but accountability is nowhere.

Compliance rules are tightening, and most orgs have no visibility.

TraceOptic gives you control, clarity, and confidence — instantly.

WHY IT MATTERS

The Hidden Cost of AI Is Already on Your P&L

Most companies waste 30–70% of their AI spend due to unmanaged prompts, model mismatch, and lack of oversight. As AI budgets surge and compliance scrutiny increases, CFOs are flying blind on usage while CTOs struggle with governance.

🧾

Wasted Tokens

70% waste

Up to 70% of token calls are redundant or over-engineered for the task.

⚠️

Compliance Risk

High risk

No immutable audit trail = regulatory blind spot and potential fines.

💸

CFOs Flying Blind

Exponential costs

AI budgets are exploding without visibility into usage patterns or ROI attribution.

🕳️

Market Shift

0% visibility

Companies are moving from building in-house to using external AI tools — but without proper governance.

OUR MISSION

We’re on a mission to make AI accountable, observable, and defensible.

As AI becomes foundational to enterprise workflows, costs are skyrocketing, governance is falling behind, and accountability is unclear. Most companies are flying blind — without knowing what’s being used, by whom, or why.

Trace Optic was created to eliminate that guesswork. We provide a unified control plane for AI usage: optimising spend, enforcing compliance, and aligning token-level activity to measurable outcomes. Every request is justified. Every token is traced. Every decision is attributable.

Purpose-built for agentic AI, multi-model pipelines, and third-party integrations — Trace Optic brings financial and operational discipline to the AI layer of your organisation.
