Live case studyLivepulled from my own usage dashboard

This is my own AI coding spend — measured, not marketed.

Every number below is pulled from my real Claude Code and Cursor usage, the same dashboard I run on my own work. No sample data, no rounded-up demo figures — the product, running on itself.

Last 7 days

Trailing week across both tools. Hover any tile for the all-time total.

Where the money goes

Real cost, by day and by model

Daily spend stacked by model over the last 30days, and the all-time split across Fable, Opus, Sonnet, Haiku, and Cursor’s models.

The second brain

Everything the work leaves behind

A living vault of notes, decisions, and entities — folder-level counts and growth only, never titles or contents.

Notes by folder

Vault growth

Total notes tracked over time (history starts when tracking began)

Second brain

Every dot is a real, captured decision or piece of project context the agent can pull from instead of re-deriving it next session. It's tracked separately from the cost multiple above — not folded into that number — but a knowledge base this connected is part of why that multiple holds up as work gets more complex, not just cheaper on day one. Folder categories and link structure only; hover a node for its category, never a title or contents.
