CAIN-42 CAIN StudioThe niche: AI model routing and cost control
Companies using more than one AI model, and their platform and finance teams.
Why this niche exists now
- Most companies now use several models.
- Model bills are a growing line item.
What people use today, and where it falls short
| What teams do today | Where it falls short |
|---|---|
| One model for everything | Overpaying or under-delivering. |
| Hard-coded choices | Every change is a code change, no reasons recorded. |
What makes OmegaRouter different
- Your own rules.
- Reason for every choice.
- Automatic circuit breaker.
How big is the opportunity?
Do not quote market-size statistics on a call. Most published figures are surveys or vendor estimates, and a smart buyer will ask for the source. Size the opportunity per prospect instead, with these questions:
- How many AI models do you use?
- What is your monthly model bill?
If the honest answers are "no" or "not yet", they are not a buyer today. Note it and move on; that is good selling, not failure.
