A unified budget, ledger, and governance layer for Claude, GPT, Cursor, and Copilot — so engineers ship faster, finance sees every dollar, and people ops owns the policy.
Append-only ledger ingests usage from Anthropic, OpenAI, Cursor, and Copilot. Versioned price tables. Idempotent webhooks. Reconciled daily.
Policies as data — percent of base, fixed caps, role-scoped — with annual or quarterly cycles, rollover, and per-engineer override.
Anti-tokenmaxxing scoring joins consumption to merged PRs, closed tickets, and incidents resolved — so a high-spend engineer is also a high-output one.
In March 2026, Jensen Huang floated tokens-as-compensation at roughly half of base salary. Tomasz Tunguz called it “the fourth pillar.” HR vocabulary added a new word: tokenmaxxing — the practice of burning AI tokens to look productive.
Engineers at top firms now run $150–$250 in Claude Code spend per month. Some run $150,000. Uber burned its 2026 AI budget in four months. Finance teams are scrambling.
Existing FinOps tools see clouds. AI observability tools see API calls. Nobody owns the seat where compensation, cost, and outcome meet. TknBudget does.
See where every token goes — before the next invoice hits.
