Finance & profit-and-loss

JARAI tracks the cost of every AI call and the revenue from every subscription and top-up, then rolls them into profit-and-loss dashboards at three levels. These live under Dashboards, and are also visible to the FinanceViewer role.

1. Dashboards → Account P&L — revenue, AI cost and margin for a single account.
2. Dashboards → Customer P&L — the same rolled up across a customer’s accounts.
3. Dashboards → Platform P&L — the whole platform (admin-only): total revenue, cost, and margin.
4. Each dashboard supports a date range and caches for performance; figures are aggregated across accounts (cross-account view).

The three P&L levels

Dashboard	Scope	Source
Account P&L	One account	AccountPL
Customer P&L	All accounts under a customer	CustomerPL
Platform P&L	Entire platform (admin-only)	PlatformCustomerPL / PlatformAccountPL

Costs come from per-step AI spend (each model’s cost basis × usage); revenue comes from subscriptions and extra-usage top-ups. The monthly roll-up is produced by the MonthlyPLCalculator background function.

Markup

Customer-facing cost can carry a markup over raw AI spend. Markup is configured per the platform’s pricing policy and is reflected in Customer/Account P&L margin.

Note

Markup and customer pricing changes are platform-wide and finance-sensitive — make them deliberately and review the resulting margin on the P&L dashboards afterwards.

Budgets & spend control

• Budget enforcement — accounts have a production budget; the BudgetEnforcementFunction gate rejects new productions for an account that has hit its monthly limit (the operator sees a clear “budget limit reached” message rather than a silent failure).
• Token allowance — each tier (Creator / Pro / Atelier) includes a monthly token allowance; extra capacity can be purchased. Operators see remaining allowance in the Console billing banner.

Exchange rates

Providers bill in different currencies. JARAI normalises spend using stored exchange rates (ExchangeRate) so all P&L figures present in a single currency. Rates are part of the platform bootstrap/seed data.

Finance viewers

If you only need the numbers, the FinanceViewer role grants read access to the P&L dashboards without the rest of the admin surface.
