AI Model Cost Comparison Framework for Procurement Teams
AI procurement requires structured cost comparison across providers. This framework defines a benchmarking workflow with pricing analysis and contract recommendations.
Implementation Steps
- Collect pricing data: per-token cost, context window limits, and throughput caps.
- Compare feature sets: fine-tuning support, streaming, function calling, and safety controls.
- Calculate annual cost projection based on usage volume and routing mix.
- Recommend contract strategy: commitment size, fallback options, and negotiation targets.
