Platform Modules

Seven purpose-built modules for complete AI governance

Every dimension of enterprise AI control — cost, routing, policy, observability, compliance, and simulation — in a single integrated platform.

💰

Economic Control

Real-time MTD spend, token consumption, cost savings rate, and model-level attribution across all vendors.

📊

Workflow Economics

Step-level cost and latency breakdown per workflow run — so every AI initiative has a clear financial owner.

🔀

Model Routing Engine

Intelligent routing rules: cost-optimise, latency-optimise, or enforce preferred models by policy — automatically.

🛡️

Policy Engine

Configurable guardrails: block models, cap spend, enforce data residency, and restrict access by role or workflow.

📡

Observability

Latency percentiles, error rates, throughput, and anomaly detection with per-model and per-workflow drill-down.

📋

Audit & Compliance

Immutable, timestamped log of every AI request — full-text searchable and exportable for Privacy Act, APS AI Policy, and ISO 42001 review.

🧪

Simulation Engine

Model what your costs and performance would look like under different routing strategies — before committing to a change.

👥

User Management

Role-based access control with per-user AI spend attribution — full visibility of who is consuming what, and at what cost.

🔔

Budget Alerts

Configurable threshold rules with webhook and email delivery — guardrails that fire before you overspend, not after the invoice arrives.


Economic Control Layer

From invisible cloud line-item to fully attributed AI spend — in under 10 minutes

The Economic Overview dashboard gives you a live view of every dollar your organisation spends on AI — broken down by model, workflow, team, and user. 19-model pricing tables are built in across OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure, AWS Bedrock, and Google. Cost is calculated automatically from token counts on every ingest — no manual tagging required.

  • Real-time MTD spend with month-on-month trend comparison
  • Token consumption tracking across all models simultaneously
  • Cost savings rate via intelligent routing vs unoptimised baseline
  • Average cost per request with 6,700+ request tracking
  • CSV export for reconciliation with cloud billing and finance reporting

Workflow Economics

Step-level cost breakdown — so every AI initiative has a clear financial owner

Workflow Economics drills below the top-line spend number to show you exactly which steps in each workflow are consuming cost and latency. Select any workflow from the dropdown and see a per-step cost and latency breakdown — instantly identifying where optimisation will have the greatest impact.

  • Per-step cost and latency breakdown for any workflow
  • Total cost, token count, latency, and step count per run
  • Cost per Step and Latency per Step charts side by side
  • Step-by-step breakdown with model, cost, latency, and token detail
  • Identify the most expensive steps for targeted optimisation

Model Routing Engine

Intelligent routing delivers 40%+ cost reduction — automatically

Not every AI task requires GPT-4o or Claude 3.5 Sonnet. Without a routing layer, every call defaults to the most expensive model available. Songlines Control fixes that at the API layer — with zero changes to your application code. Route by cost, latency, policy, or data residency requirements.

  • Sovereign Data Routing — PII and sensitive data to sovereign-compliant models only
  • Cost Optimisation — simple tasks routed to cheaper models automatically
  • High-Stakes Analysis — legal and financial workflows routed to premium models
  • Fallback rules — route to cheapest available model when budget threshold is reached
  • Live routing decisions feed with model, latency, and policy enforcement status

Observability

Complete visibility across every AI request — latency, errors, and throughput in real time

The Observability module gives you the same depth of telemetry for AI that you expect from your application performance monitoring stack. Latency percentiles, error rates, success rates, and token throughput — all live, all attributed to the model and workflow that generated them.

  • Live request traces with workflow, model, tokens, latency, cost, and policy status
  • Latency percentile charts (p50, p95, p99) over 24 hours
  • Error rate tracking with policy decision visibility (allowed / modified / blocked)
  • Success rate and average latency KPIs updated in real time
  • Per-model and per-workflow drill-down for root cause analysis

Audit & Compliance

An immutable audit trail built for Australian regulatory requirements

Every AI request is logged with a cryptographically signed, immutable record — including the model used, tokens consumed, cost, latency, routing decision, and policy outcome. The log is ISO 27001 aligned and IRAP-ready, meeting Australian government and enterprise compliance requirements out of the box.

  • Immutable, timestamped log — records cannot be modified or deleted
  • Full-text search across all audit fields — model, user, workflow, cost range
  • Date range filtering for regulatory submissions and legal discovery
  • One-click CSV export ready for Privacy Act, APS AI Policy, and ISO 42001 review
  • Aligned with Privacy Act 1988, APS AI Policy, and ISO/IEC 42001

Audit & Compliance · Immutable audit trail for every AI interaction
Simulation Engine

Model what-if scenarios before committing to a routing change

The Simulation Engine lets you project the cost and performance impact of routing strategy changes before applying them to production. Compare current spend against projected spend under different scenarios — with risk ratings, latency impact, and quality impact calculated automatically from your actual usage patterns.

  • What-if scenario cards with current vs projected cost comparison
  • Risk ratings (Low / Medium / High) for each proposed routing change
  • Latency impact and quality impact projections per scenario
  • 6-month cost forecast across three routing strategies on a single chart
  • Apply Scenario button — changes only go live with explicit administrator approval

User Management

Role-based access control with per-user AI spend attribution

User Management gives administrators complete visibility of who is consuming AI resources and at what cost. Assign admin or user roles, monitor per-user request counts, token consumption, and total spend — all from a single screen. Suspend accounts instantly when access needs to be revoked.

  • Per-user AI request count, tokens used, and total spend in real time
  • Admin and user role assignment with server-side enforcement
  • Account suspension with immediate access revocation
  • CSV export for finance reporting and cost allocation by team
  • Last sign-in tracking for access review and compliance audits

Budget Alerts

Guardrails that fire before you overspend — not after the invoice arrives

Configure alert rules scoped to model, workflow, team, or organisation-wide with custom dollar thresholds. Deliver alerts via HMAC-signed webhooks to PagerDuty, Slack, or Teams — or via email to your finance team. Cooldown windows prevent alert fatigue once a threshold is crossed.

  • Configurable rules with monthly, daily, or hourly rolling windows
  • Multi-channel delivery — webhook (HMAC-signed) and email
  • Cooldown enforcement to prevent duplicate alerts during active incidents
  • Full delivery log with HTTP status, response body, and timing
  • 0ms alert latency on breach — fires on every telemetry ingest event

The Settings screen puts your most critical governance controls at your fingertips. Enable Sovereign Mode to enforce all AI traffic to sovereign-compliant endpoints only. Activate PII Auto-Redaction to automatically detect and redact personally identifiable information before it reaches any model. Require human approval for high-risk AI operations with HITL Approval Workflows.
