The platform, which has already routed 1.1 million tokens across 52 models and 14 vendors, joins routed usage to Git branches, commits, and pull requests to distinguish shipped, in-flight, and unmatched spend, with sample data showing $48.2K in Claude spend of which $28.4K (59%) tied to merged pull requests.", "body_md": "# Route every model.

Quick Start produces correlation; the capture plugin upgrades selected teams to SHA-level attribution.\n\n## How it works\n\n### 1. Connect GitHub\n\nSecurely link your repositories through the GitHub App to track what ships.\n\n### 2. Track AI spend\n\nCapture Claude Code usage and cost across your fleet, automatically and zero-touch.\n\n### 3. Reconcile ROI\n\nMatch spend to merged pull requests and measure what your AI budget actually shipped.\n\n## Enterprise features\n\n### Team-level attribution\n\nSpend and shipped rate per team. Aggregate by default, never a per-engineer ranking.\n\n### Automatic PR linking\n\nEach captured session resolves to the pull request it shipped in, by branch and SHA.\n\nPR #128\n\nCheckout retry logic\n\nPR #131\n\nDashboard charts\n\nPR #126\n\nSpike: vector search\n\nSecurity\n\nEncrypted in transit and at rest. SSO on Enterprise. SOC-2 is on the roadmap.\n\nPrivacy first\n\nToken counts, timestamps, and git refs leave the machine. Your prompts, code, and transcripts never do.\n\nAudit ready\n\nExport reconciliation logs for finance and FinOps. Full visibility into how AI spend maps to shipped work.\n\nSpend over time\n\n## Watch the burn, by model\n\nSee daily Claude spend broken out by model version, with the percent that shipped traced on its own axis. The same chart you get on your dashboard.\n\nSpend over time\n\nDaily AI spend (estimated + metered), by model version, against the spend that shipped.\n\nScrub the plot or navigator.
