Credits reveal which workflows consume context, models and document actions most heavily. High usage is not always bad, but it should point to processes that need better structure or routing.
Review recurring cost drivers and improve file selection, prompt phases, assistants or routes before simply raising budget.
Start with a narrow boundary: which website, space, file, recipient or decision is affected? This makes the task reviewable instead of turning it into a broad catch-all request.
A useful work order is: “Analyze our credit-heavy workflows and suggest improvements in context, routing, files and review steps.” For important cases, add that uncertainties must be marked visibly instead of being filled in silently.
Pay special attention to risk, review duty, privacy and later findability. These points decide whether the result is only useful for the moment or can be found, checked and continued by the team later.
Do not treat credits only as billing after the fact.
Cost control becomes a signal for better workflow design.
