What you investigate

Research summarizes the customer’s documents. Then Pricing sends the same documents to the model again. Follow both calls, compare them side by side, and see what reusing Research’s results changes.

Where the evidence comes from

Imperium captures each agent’s activity: delegations, model and tool calls, policy decisions and enforcement evidence. Observatory reconstructs the mission from those AI events and explains the findings.

Fictional mission, synthetic payloads, simulated metrics. Cost figures are illustrative API-equivalent estimates.
