Why Now
The cost of intelligence
is collapsing to zero.

Token prices have dropped 1,200× in two years. A cognitive AI worker now costs $35/year. When intelligence is nearly free, the only question left is: what did you actually get for your money?

When tokens are free, what do you pay for?

Every enterprise will soon have hundreds of AI workers costing pennies, producing millions of outputs. The question isn't "can we afford AI?" — it's "who verified it was correct?"

Without governance, quality verification, and audit trails, cheap AI is just cheap risk. Switchwood is the control room.

"OpenRouter sells cheaper tokens. Switchwood proves what those tokens produced — the verification, the attribution, and the audit trail."

Trust is the only scarce resource.

Manual QA catches 2-5% of AI outputs at 18-25% of total cost. Switchwood's quality layer catches 100% at 13% cost — and produces the audit trail regulators actually demand.

EU AI Act. Canada's AIDA. SOX. HIPAA. OSFI. The compliance wave is coming. "Show me every AI decision that touched a customer in 90 days" — without Switchwood, that's 3 weeks of engineering. With it, one click.

"The cheaper AI gets, the more you need proof it worked. Every feature we build sits on the side of the equation that's growing, not collapsing."
The Value Inversion
2024
85% Tokens
15%
2027
15%
85% Governance
In 2024, 85% of your AI dollar goes to tokens. By 2027, 85% goes to proving what those tokens did — verification, attribution, and compliance. That's Switchwood.
The Problem
Managing AI at scale is a mess.

Multiple providers, zero visibility, no accountability. Your team has no idea what AI costs, what it produces, or whether it's doing the right thing.

💸

Zero Cost Visibility

No per-department breakdown. No budget caps. No early warnings. Just a big surprise invoice — and no way to tell the board what the ROI was.

🔍

No Quality Verification

500 agents producing 50,000 outputs a week. How many are correct? Manual QA spot-checks 2-5%. The rest? Hope for the best.

📋

No Audit Trail

Regulators want to see every AI decision that touched a customer. Without attribution, that's weeks of forensic engineering — if it's even possible.

🔑

API Key Sprawl

OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, Gemini — managing credentials across 5+ providers wastes engineering time and creates security risk.

🔥

No Failover

OpenAI has an outage? Your product breaks. No automatic failover means your uptime depends on someone else's infrastructure.

🍁

Data Residency Gaps

Sending sensitive data to US-based AI providers creates compliance headaches. Canadian data sovereignty is a requirement, not a nice-to-have.

The Platform
Six pillars. One platform.

Every feature maps to the same metric: maximizing intelligence per dollar. Here's how.

1

Intelligent Routing

300+ models through one OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Tag-based routing sends each request to the right model tier — premium, standard, or budget — automatically.

↳ Direct every dollar to the right model
2

Quality Verification

Automated quality evaluation on every output. Tiered verification from lightweight checks to deep rubric-based assessment. 100% coverage at 13% cost — not 2-5% spot checks at 25%.

↳ Verify every dollar produced real intelligence
3

Outcome Attribution

Map every dollar of AI spend to measurable business outcomes. Per-department, per-agent, per-task. Show the board a 12.8× ROI — not a mystery line item.

↳ Map every dollar to a measurable outcome
4

Spend Controls

Per-team budget caps, real-time alerts, and automatic model downgrading when marginal returns drop. Stop budget overruns before they happen.

↳ Stop wasting dollars on diminishing returns
5

Compliance Ready

Full audit trail for every AI interaction. Built for SOC 2, EU AI Act, AIDA, HIPAA, and OSFI. One click to answer "show me every AI decision in the last 90 days."

↳ Prove every dollar was spent correctly
6

Sovereign Inference

Route sensitive workloads to local models on Canadian infrastructure. Data never leaves your jurisdiction. Zero external API calls for regulated industries.

↳ Keep data and dollars in your jurisdiction Coming Soon

For CTOs & CFOs

Turn AI spend into a line item the board defends.

The CFO doesn't buy tokens. They buy the quarterly report showing a 12.8× return on AI investment — broken down by department, agent, and task. Switchwood generates that report automatically.

  • 12.8× ROI attribution — map every dollar of AI spend to business outcomes, per-department
  • Counterfactual cost engine — "without AI, this task cost $62K. With Switchwood: $4.2K"
  • Budget guardrails — caps prevent runaway costs, auto-downgrade when returns drop
  • Quality scores per team — verification pass rates, rubric compliance, trending
  • Compliance-ready — full audit trail, one-click regulator response
