The answer was right. The question cost four times what it needed to.Every analytics team using AI models runs into the same quiet cost: wasted tokens from messy prompts. An analyst types a vague question, the model gives back a long, hedge-y answer, the analyst rewrites the question, asks again, and the loop repeats. Multiply that across hundreds of analysts asking questions every day, and it's not just money burned on tokens — it's time lost and answers that don't line up with each other.
