CFO, CIO and CTO offices
Spend & ROI
Portfolio spend, a spend forecast, cost per outcome and budget against actual. Used now and then, and clear at a glance.
One platform,
four surfaces.
XTrace is one core platform, configured to your KPIs and outcomes. Each surface is built for the people who use it, and all four share the same data.
Surfaces
Built for the people who use it.
Results at a glance, a place to run the program, and help inside the tools people already use.
FinOps, platform and AI enablement teams
Policies & recommendations
Where the work gets done: tagging and allocation rules, budgets, policies, anomaly alerts, routing configuration and recommendations to approve. Its adoption and coaching view shows where teams get stuck, what good practice looks like and which standards to roll out.
Everyone who uses AI tools
The XTrace plugin
Works with the AI tools and coding agents your teams already use. It suggests the right model in the moment, trims prompts and context, keeps budgets in view and reuses what the team already knows. It enforces company policies and stops known mistakes inside the session, and each new fix XTrace finds reaches it automatically. Nearly invisible when everything is fine.
Runs in the background
AI gateway
Sits in the request path for agents and apps and runs the routing, caps and caching your team has set. It analyzes traffic and recommends changes, and a person approves each one in XTrace. It makes no change on its own.
Inside the platform
What each view is for.
A high-level look at the views teams use most. Every one reads the same data.

How they fit together
One control point for every AI call.
The AI gateway sees every call and recommends changes, and a person approves each one in XTrace. Rules and policies reach the XTrace plugin automatically, and it enforces them inside each AI tool.
Request path. Every model call from AI tools, agents and apps passes through the gateway.
Recommends. The gateway analyzes traffic and surfaces routing, caching and budget changes. A person approves them in XTrace.
Enforces. Rules and policies go to the XTrace plugin, which applies them automatically inside each tool.
Where each surface sits. Gateway recommendations go up to a person; rules and policies go down to the plugin in each tool, automatically.

We’ll walk you through each surface, set up around the KPIs you already report on.
