Six ways we reduce your Claude spend.

How an engagement runs

Most clients reach us at one of three moments. They are about to sign a first enterprise agreement with Anthropic, they are staring at a renewal that quietly steps the price up, or their monthly Claude invoice has started climbing faster than usage and nobody can fully explain why. The work is the same in all three cases. We read the deal and the workload together, because the contract and the token spend are two halves of one bill.

We begin with the numbers you already have. Usage logs, current rate card, the order form, any prior proposals from Anthropic. From there we build a clean picture of what you are spending, what you are committed to, and where the spend is going by model and by workload. That picture is the foundation for everything else, and it is usually the first time a buyer sees seats, API commit, overage, and caching opportunity laid out on one page.

On the commercial side we run the negotiation with Anthropic directly or sit behind your procurement lead, whichever you prefer. We bring the benchmark, anchor the first number, and protect the terms that matter beyond the headline rate: overage at the committed rate, price protection across the term, sensible treatment of unused commitment, and a clean exit. On the engineering side we identify the routing, caching, and batch changes that cut the underlying consumption, so the commit you sign is sized to an efficient workload rather than a wasteful one.

The order matters. Optimize the workload first, then negotiate the commit against the lower number. Buyers who sign first and optimize later end up paying for tokens they were always going to eliminate.

The technical levers we use

Token optimization is not a single trick. It is a stack of changes that compound. Prompt caching reuses the stable part of your context and can cut the cost of repeated input by up to 90 percent on the cached portion. Batch processing moves work that does not need an instant answer onto the batch path at half the price. Model routing sends each request to the cheapest model that can do the job well, reserving Opus for the reasoning that genuinely needs it and pushing classification, extraction, and routing decisions to Haiku.

None of these changes quality if they are done carefully, and all of them change the bill. When we model a workload across Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku with caching and batch applied where they fit, aggregate spend typically lands 40 to 70 percent below a baseline that runs everything on Opus in real time. That is the number we then take into the commitment conversation.

What you get

  • A benchmark of what comparable buyers pay Anthropic at your scale.
  • A negotiated agreement with protected terms, not just a discounted rate.
  • A token optimization plan your engineers can actually ship.
  • A commit sized to an efficient workload, with the right buffer built in.
