Collect a representative day
Group work into light, normal and heavy tasks. Record how many of each occur, the provider-reported token usage and whether retries were required. Include background automation and CI usage if it runs under the same budget.
Calculate a range
Multiply input and output tokens by the current model rates, then add all tasks. Create low and high cases for days with fewer or more agent loops. For subscriptions, use the provider’s current plan cost and usage rules instead of pretending every interaction is directly token billed.

Enter your current rates and measured average. Nothing is uploaded.
Reduce the repeatable waste
Varion keeps its proprietary engine implementation private. Commercial evaluation is based on measurable workload-specific outcomes, clear validation boundaries and customer-specific testing rather than disclosure of internal mechanisms. Use the dedicated Token Optimisation product area to evaluate whether the commercial result is suitable for your traffic; no universal performance percentage is promised.
Measurement checklist
- Choose a representative completed task, not an artificial one-line prompt.
- Record the selected model, provider input, cached input, output, retries and final result.
- Change one optimization mechanism at a time so the cause remains visible.
- Verify required identifiers, tool calls, code changes or business fields.
- Keep passthrough available when the reduced request does not pass.
Varion commercial evaluation
Varion keeps proprietary product implementation details private. Evaluate Token Optimisation on representative traffic and judge it by the measured commercial result. New verified users receive 100,000 processed input tokens and 50 local test runs.
Frequently asked questions
Should I include failed tasks?
Yes. They consume time and may consume tokens, so cost per successful task should include retries.
Can I use this for a team?
Yes. Add the representative daily sessions for each role and include shared automation.
