What does research say about: Per-feature cost attribution enables margin optimisation?

Tagging API calls with feature metadata reveals that 80% of AI spend typically comes from 20% of features, enabling targeted optimisation that reduces total spend by 30%. (Source: Helicone, 'LLM Observability and Cost Tracking' documentation, 2024). Without cost attribution, teams optimise blindly — reducing costs on cheap features while ignoring the expensive ones.
