What could a committed-spend discount save you?
AI vendors price like cloud — pay on-demand, or commit to a baseline for a discount. Commit too little and you overpay; commit too much and you forfeit the unused part. This sizes the sweet spot against forfeit risk — the same logic Outlay's commitment recommender runs on your real data. Illustrative; your true number is measured on your own usage.
| Scenario | Commit / mo | Net / mo | Eff. rate | Forfeit risk |
|---|
Net savings is vs. paying on-demand. Forfeit risk rises as the commit approaches your peak rather than your steady floor. We bill on realized savings only — no savings, no bill.
This is a planning estimate from a simplified model (single discount, steady-floor sizing). Outlay's recommender runs the same decomposition on your actual per-day usage, sizes against your real rate card and forfeit terms, and paces the commitment so you don't drift into forfeit or overage.
