Group AI traffic by business purpose so owners can see useful work, personal use, and risky requests.
SignalCost AI visibilityCloud + Beacon One
AI visibility is the beginning. The operating decision is the product.
See the AI work. Authorize the spend. Prove the result.
Install one capture source and SignalCost discovers AI providers automatically. Then connect the work to a business workflow, authorize the budget, choose the provider or model, reconcile the cost, and measure what the spend produced. Provider credentials remain optional until billing, routing, or enrichment needs them.
30 days free. First useful signal in minutes.

What changes after capture
Make AI work visible, governable, and economically useful from the first source forward.
Allow, block, route, or require review before your company pays an AI provider.
Use Beacon when an office needs sensitive prompt checks handled inside the company environment.
Connect and govern leading AI providers
THE SIGNALCOST DECISION LOOP
From captured signal to accountable AI economics.
See the operating system at work: the same evidence moves from capture to context, authorization, and a receipt your teams can explain.
6 capture paths
AI work enters as private proof.
Browser, Beacon, endpoint, MCP, SDK, and OpenTelemetry sources send one minimized evidence contract.
SourceBeacon One
ProviderIdentity inferred
PayloadMinimized evidence
THE NEXT MOVE
Turn the first captured signal into operating value.
Once the first provider record appears, move from evidence to action without reworking the shared capture layer. Start small, then expand with proof.
Capture the work
Download the native browser installer, activate Beacon One, or connect an endpoint, SDK, MCP, or OTel source.
Authorize the economics
Connect captured activity to a workflow, budget, provider, model, policy, and agent wallet before spend compounds.
Prove the result
Reconcile usage, review the AI general-ledger dimensions, and measure the outcome before expanding to more packs or locations.
Capture coverage
Discovery comes first. Credentials are optional.
Every provider moves through a clear state so teams know what SignalCost can prove now and what an integration would add later.
Discovered automatically from captured traffic.
No credentials required.
Usage, source, employee, model, and estimated cost are visible.
Enough evidence to report.
Optional credentials are added for billing, routing, or enrichment.
Account access stays separate.
Manual setup is a secondary action.
Choose Add billing or routing integration only when the workspace needs invoices, exact account reconciliation, provider routing, model catalogs, or enrichment.
See provider coverageOne capture layer
Start with the path your team already uses.
One privacy-aware capture layer spans browser, desktop, agents, applications, and Beacon. Each source feeds the same business-purpose, policy, and cost decision loop.
Guided browser deployment
Stage one pilot with the signed helper or prepare a validated browser-policy preview for an IT-managed fleet. SignalCost shows store, activation, and external prerequisites before rollout.
Beacon One and Cloud
Capture local or routed inference traffic, then send minimized evidence for coverage, policy, and cost reporting.
Endpoint source
Bring configured AI apps, IDEs, CLIs, and local model activity into the same coverage view.
MCP, SDK, and OTel
Bring structured agent actions and instrumented application events into the same canonical capture contract.
Beacon keeps the local decision path available.
See the capture walkthroughDefault Cloud evidence is content-minimized. Local policy and classification remain available when the customer needs a local boundary.
Industry control loops
The same capture layer, grounded in the work your business actually does.
Choose one or more workflow packs when generic AI categories are not enough. Each pack adds business entities, policy defaults, connectors, and outcome measures without weakening global privacy or tenant controls.

01
Scope the customer result
Choose the industry module, one measurable workflow, the capture source, and the first economic policy.
02
Deploy with the shared contract
Install capture, activate Beacon One where needed, and use a versioned template without copying prompts or provider credentials.
03
Hand off the operating rhythm
The customer owns the tenant, ledger, integrations, invoices, and Beacon devices. The partner supports adoption and outcome reviews.
Partners can help configure and support a customer deployment. Customer tenants retain ownership of evidence, credentials, usage, policy, billing, and Beacon devices.
Discuss the partner programCloud + Beacon One
Start in Cloud. Add local capture where the location needs it.
SignalCost Cloud is the hosted workspace for capture coverage, policy, reporting, quotas, and cost control. Beacon One extends the same capture and decision model into a location when local review, local receipts, or optional enforcement matters.
Show the employee, app, office Beacon, provider, and credential behind the request.
Classify the request into a plain business area such as support, finance, sales, research, or personal use.
Decide whether the work fits company rules before the provider is called.
Choose the approved service, model, local option, or Beacon path that fits the work.
Show estimated and actual spend so finance can explain what the AI usage was for.

Start without a project
A clear first week, with help when you need it.
Start with Cloud, stage one guided pilot or download an IT policy package, and review the first provider record. IT teams can optionally authorize identity sync and direct pilot push with status and rollback. Coverage is scored only across enrolled managed sources, with unmanaged gaps stated plainly.

Choose your starting point
Start with 30 days free. Add Beacon One when a device or office needs local control.
Start as an individual with personal protection or as a team with token-bundle pricing. Beacon One remains the local-control device for people and locations that need AI activity reviewed near the source.
