We built the proof layer because we couldn't find anyone else building it.
Every gateway ships the optimizer. We’re building the AI spend platform — see, control, and prove your AI spend across every provider. Control is what you buy today; proof (verified savings, net of quality) is the durable edge, off · proof pending until we can settle it.
Optimization is a commodity. Proof is the product.
Inference has become the dominant COGS line for AI companies, and most teams can’t see, control, or prove what that spend delivers. We build the measurement spine: an auditable, basis-labeled cost ledger today, with the cross-family eval gate that turns verified savings on (proof pending) on the roadmap, and we rent or build everything else. The long game is to become the attestation authority for AI spend — “Verified by Recovea.” Analysts have publicly described this exact motion in 2026 and sized it at roughly a quarter of the model companies’ corporate revenue.
White-glove first. Candid by default.
We’re capacity-limited by design, we under-claim, we name our own dependencies, and we describe the moat as a head start, not a castle. That candor is the brand. A skeptical CTO trusts a straight operator over a movement.
What we hold to.
- Lead with proof, not a number: we measure your savings on your own ledger, never a hype max.
- Quality is the gate, not a footnote: non-inferiority proven per route.
- We don’t bill for savings we can’t show you in the ledger.
- We name our own dependencies: the proxy is a commodity; the proof isn’t.
- We tell you when you’re not a fit.
- Provider-agnostic. Your keys. Your tenant. Fail-open.
The person who’ll actually run your teardown.
Recovea is built and run by a senior, measurement-obsessed operator, not a sales org. You talk to the person who reads your traffic, locks your baseline, watches the eval gate, and owns the rollback.
