Token-Based Consumption
tokenbasedconsumption.com
Token-based consumption measures or prices selected AI activity using input, output, cached, reasoning, or other provider-defined token units.
Licensing, stewardship, partnership or acquisition discussions welcome.
Why it matters
The problem this identity helps frame
Token units are widely available but can vary by model, tokenizer, provider, context policy, caching, and workload, so they require normalization before comparison or allocation.
Evidence and terminology boundary
What the record supports
The category is established in commercial AI services, while token definitions and billing treatments remain provider-specific.
What this is not
The identity is not a tokenizer, meter, price list, billing service, or accounting rule.
