Worked scenarios
Three operators, same methodology, different floors. Each page runs power → hardware → overhead → margin → price per 1,000 tokens.
| scenario | power | hardware treatment | ask price / 1k tok |
|---|---|---|---|
| High power cost | $0.18 / kWh | full 36-month amort | $0.00337 |
| Low power cost | $0.05 / kWh | full 36-month amort | $0.00305 |
| Spare capacity | $0.082 / kWh | $0 (already paid) | $0.00074 |
Shared inputs unless a scenario overrides them: 2× A100 80GB, 1.00 kW board, PUE 1.4, 160 tokens/s, 25% margin. Citations live on benchmarks.
