A defined market.
Each release identifies the qualifying model universe and any exclusions. A narrower research series must not be presented as coverage of the entire AI market.

01 / Research implementation
Specify the Market.
Document the Inputs.
The standard defines the calculation. Each research implementation must state which market it represents and how its price and usage inputs are observed.
First specification in development. No qualifying market or pricing convention has been adopted for a published observation in this build.
- Qualifying universe
- To be specified before publication.
- Price and usage sources
- To be selected and documented.
- Pricing normalization
- Input, output, cached, batch, and committed pricing require an explicit convention.
- Measurement window
- To be stated separately from publication time.
- Publication process
- Dated snapshots. No live feed is connected.
- Coverage and revisions
- Each release must describe exclusions and methodology changes.
Published-price estimates and realized transaction expenditure are not interchangeable. The observation will state what is measured and how much of the qualifying market is covered.
General methodology02 / Publication notes
A Snapshot You Can Inspect.
The research reference is designed around dated, reviewable observations—not a continuously moving price. The source, scope, and conventions belong beside the number.
A dated observation.
The observation date, usage window, and publication time are separate fields. An unchanged observation keeps its original dates.
Visible assumptions.
Price sources, usage sources, normalization, coverage, and methodology version accompany every published snapshot.
Research is not an executable quote.
A published-price proxy is different from observed transaction expenditure. Any implementation must state what its inputs actually measure and which pricing assumptions it uses.
History begins with observations.
A historical chart appears only when dated research observations exist. The illustrative calculator and fictional time scenario never contribute values to the published series.
There is no live data feed connected in this build.
