How a review with Penny works.

  1. 1

    You bring

    GPU type, region, workload, utilization, contract term, and dated quotes.

    Missing context is named, not filled in

  2. 2

    Penny checks

    Reviews your inputs against cited sources, separates evidence from assumption, and names what is missing.

    Every answer cites evidence or is rejected

  3. 3

    You get

    A saved review with sections for Decision, Comparison basis, Normalization needed, Exclusions and missing quote terms, and What could reverse the result, plus evidence, assumptions, confidence, and suggested handoffs.

    Sources and assumptions shown

  4. 4

    Your team decides

    A recommendation to commit capital, sign a contract, change a hedge or production operations, or contact a counterparty waits for a named approver on your team.

What Penny will not claim.

  • States a price only when that exact figure appears in a cited source.
  • Says whether its cost reasoning uses published Compute Index data.
  • A recommendation to commit capital, sign a contract, change a hedge or production operations, or contact a counterparty waits for a named approver on your team.
