Cost per Token Trend · TVU SaaS Dashboard

cost_per_1m = vendor_cost_usd / tokens_consumed * 1,000,000

Blended means spend-weighted across every vendor and model in the period — not the average of the daily rates. A period where cheap traffic grows faster than expensive traffic lowers the blended rate even if no single vendor changed its price.

The previous-period figure uses the same formula over the same number of days immediately before the selected range.

8.6% Improving — unit cost fell by 1.0% or more.

2.6% Worsening — unit cost rose by 1.0% or more.

0.4% Stable — change within ±1.0%, shown without an arrow.

Spend and token volume show their direction in neutral grey: growing volume is neither good nor bad on its own, so it is never scored.
