Contracts are fragmented.
Teams sign separate provider deals, juggle different rate cards, and still hard-code provider SDKs into the product.
B2B AI procurement and governance
Stop buying AI one provider at a time.
TokenBridge sits between your apps and every model provider so engineering can ship faster, finance can forecast spend, and security can enforce policy from one control plane.

Market signal
AI gateways have become the enterprise control layer for access, policy, observability, and model mediation.
The wedge
The AI stack has a finance and governance problem.
Spend is not forecastable.
Usage spikes, prompt changes, and premium model defaults turn AI features into a moving COGS line.
Governance is bolted on.
Security teams inherit shadow AI usage without PII policy, region pinning, model allow-lists, or audit evidence.
Every app becomes a model procurement team.
The larger the AI roadmap gets, the more every SaaS company needs neutral routing, observability, and procurement leverage outside the model providers themselves.
The platform
One gateway. Five control points.
TokenBridge replaces direct provider calls with a neutral API that routes, governs, caches, observes, and reconciles every request.
01 Routing
Cheapest model that clears the quality bar.
Task class, quality tier, latency SLA, region, and allow-list rules feed a routing decision on every call.
Semantic reuse without cross-tenant leakage.
Exact and vector cache reduce repeated token spend while keeping regulated customers tenant-scoped by default.
PII, budgets, models, and geography.
Rust/WASM policies check requests before provider calls and create evidence for finance, security, and legal.
Cost per feature, customer, team, and model.
Engineering gets traces. Finance gets allocation. Procurement gets a rate-card view of every provider.
Provider degradation should not break your product.
Circuit breakers move traffic to the next compliant model when latency or error rates cross the line.

Buyer narrative
One product, three reasons to say yes.
TokenBridge is a wedge into engineering, finance, security, and procurement because each group already feels the AI scaling pain differently.
Primary wedge
Ship AI features without hard-coding the model market.
Engineering gets an OpenAI-compatible API, provider failover, latency-aware routing, and cost attribution by feature.
- Drop-in SDK and REST proxy
- Daily model quality benchmarks
- Headers for route decision, failover, and cache hit
Expansion buyer
Turn token spend into a governed COGS line.
Finance sees baseline spend, negotiated provider pricing, verified savings, and usage allocation by team, product, and customer.
- Rate-card import and reconciliation
- Budget caps and alert thresholds
- Savings checked against a list-price baseline
Enterprise unlock
Apply AI policy before data leaves the business.
Security and compliance teams get zero-retention mode, regional pinning, PII redaction, model allow-lists, and append-only audit evidence.
- SOC2 roadmap and audit exports
- Tenant-scoped semantic cache
- Healthcare-ready BAA path

FAQ
Questions the first buyers will ask.
Do we need to change our app code?
For most teams, TokenBridge starts as an OpenAI-compatible base URL swap plus metadata headers for task class, quality tier, region, and budget scope.
Will routing hurt quality?
Routes are constrained by task-specific quality thresholds, latency SLAs, region rules, allow-lists, and customer feedback signals before cost is optimized.
How do you prove savings?
TokenBridge compares pre-optimization list-price baseline spend against routed, cached, and negotiated provider costs.
What happens with sensitive prompts?
Policy runs before provider calls. Regulated tenants can use zero-retention mode, no cross-tenant cache, PII redaction, regional pinning, and audit exports.
