Independent LLM Quality Monitoring and Audit Platform

P7/10April 12, 2026
WhatA third-party service that continuously benchmarks LLM API providers against their advertised capabilities, detecting silent degradations in model quality, cache behavior, and throughput.
SignalDevelopers are discovering through forensic investigation that their LLM provider silently changed infrastructure parameters that materially affected product quality and cost, and they have no systematic way to detect or prove these changes.
Why NowLLM APIs have become critical production infrastructure for thousands of companies, but providers are actively optimizing costs in ways that silently degrade service — creating an urgent trust gap with no independent verification layer.
MarketEnterprise and startup engineering teams spending $10K-$1M+/month on LLM APIs; TAM follows the $10B+ LLM API market; no dedicated independent auditor exists today — closest is ad-hoc community sleuthing on GitHub Issues.
MoatHistorical benchmark data accumulated over time becomes the definitive record of provider behavior, creating a unique dataset that new entrants cannot replicate retroactively.
