The Cost Curve That Slashed My SEO Audits from Dimes to Pennies
One snarky comment exposed the waste in my $0.006-per-URL SEO auditor. The fix? A tiered 'cost curve' that routes tasks smartly, paying models only when regexes fail.
⚡ Key Takeaways
- Tiered 'cost curve' architecture cuts SEO audit costs 83% by using Python regexes first, models only for edges.
- Repo splits MIT core from licensed premium—fork-proof trust with pro features like voice-matched rewrites.
- This mirrors compiler optimizations: cheap passes prune 80%, saving heavy AI for what matters.
