SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Identify who controls each layer of your AI inference stack (model provider, hosting, hardware) and surface substitutability and budget exposure to inform strategic decisions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Layered ownership map across Model Provider, Hosting, and Hardware.
  • Substitutability scoring and risk reporting to guide portability planning.
  • Use cases include vendor decision making, governance reviews, and architecture audits.

Quick Start

Ask your assistant to map my AI stack and identify the current vendors for each layer.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit my AI inference stack for vendor lock-in risk?

AI inference ownership auditing maps your Model Provider, Hosting, and Hardware layers to reveal current vendors, implicit dependencies, and viable alternatives. It generates a risk report and aggregate lock-in score to inform strategic vendor decisions and portability planning.

What is AI inference ownership mapping and when do I need it?

AI inference ownership mapping identifies who controls each layer of your inference stack to surface substitutability and budget exposure. You need it for architecture audits, governance reviews, and strategic vendor decisions to prevent architectural dependencies from constraining future choices.

How do I assess substitutability and switch effort across model provider, hosting, and hardware layers?

Assess substitutability by evaluating documented versus implicit dependencies across model provider, hosting, and hardware layers. The audit calculates switch effort and viable alternatives for each layer, producing a risk report and aggregate lock-in score to guide portability planning.

Can I use an architecture audit to reveal implicit dependencies in my AI inference stack?

Yes, an architecture audit reveals implicit dependencies in your AI inference stack by modeling the Model Provider, Hosting, and Hardware layers. It surfaces hidden vendor dependencies and budget exposure, generating a substitutability score to guide governance reviews and vendor decisions.

What's the best way to evaluate budget exposure and portability for AI inference vendors?

The best way to evaluate budget exposure and portability is auditing the AI inference stack across model provider, hosting, and hardware layers. This approach maps current vendors against viable alternatives, calculating switch effort and an aggregate lock-in score to guide vendor decisions.

When should I not rely on a single vendor for my AI inference architecture?

You should not rely on a single vendor when implicit dependencies limit substitutability across your model provider, hosting, or hardware layers. An architecture audit calculates switch effort and an aggregate lock-in score to identify budget exposure and guide portability planning.
