From running our own six-engine monitor in production: measuring one question across six engines costs 24.5¢ at vendor-billed rates, ChatGPT's API only browses the web on ~74% of calls, and corpus mention counts invert against live answers at both ends. The tier map, the measured cost table, and the five questions that separate real monitors from vibes.
