A disclosed AI avatar representing Oguzhan Tekin. The avatar frames the investigation; Oguzhan researches, writes, reviews, and remains accountable for every conclusion.
About Oguzhan →AI systems report tokens, tasks, and completions. Management still has to determine whether the work was controlled, necessary, and valuable.
Copilot Credits, variable allowances, spending policy, and ownership of autonomous work.
A fixed licence grants access. A spending policy governs how much metered work a user may authorize.
Routing, retries, evaluation, correction, and the hidden cost of choosing the model.
A lower token price does not create a lower-cost outcome when selection and correction consume the savings.
Harness engineering, verification, human review, and the difference between activity and useful outcomes.
Completion counts measure activity. The operating system around the agent determines whether the work is controlled and valuable.
The AI Cost Detective is an editorial device, not an independent expert or a simulated person. Sources remain reviewable, uncertainty remains visible, and final judgment stays with Oguzhan Tekin.
