Capacitr uses Sage to save money on market analysis

Six structured decisions help Capacitr filter market noise, focus research, and check its trading agent before expensive work begins.

Projected monthly impact

~44%Lower pipeline LLM spend

1.6B+ downstream tokens not used per month

50%Lower web research costs

19,500 metered search calls avoided per month

After $4.50 in estimated monthly Sage usage

Capacitr maps news and social posts to trading opportunities, then lets users research and act through a chat agent. Sage provides structured decisions across Capacitr’s analysis pipeline to determine if content needs to be analyzed or if existing research is sufficient.

Six decision gates. One intelligent front door.

Levanto Sage acts as the intelligent front door for our entire AI pipeline. By making instant, micro-cent decisions on what’s actually worth processing, it cuts out untradeable noise and cuts our downstream AI and search API costs in half, all while keeping response times practically instant.

Filtering before the expensive work happens

In a 30-day sample, 11,437 of 25,743 classified items produced no tradeable markets. Each had already incurred extraction, enrichment, matching, and judging costs.

Capacitr’s savings figures account for Sage’s publish gate filtering approximately 380 such items per day before downstream analysis. A separate enrichment gate evaluates whether fresh web research is needed, avoiding an estimated 19,500 metered search calls per month.

Six decisions in application code

Each Sage decision combines context with a question. The Surface column shows where that context comes from in Capacitr’s application; Sage output identifies the type of question asked. Sage returns a structured answer that the application can act on, as shown in Application decision.

The outputs drive application behavior: stale trades are removed, ranked markets determine display order, and scope decisions constrain the agent. Each surface starts in shadow mode.

The team measured application performance before and after integrating Sage. They found that feed quality on production data remained as good. They then activated the decision gates and began saving inference costs.

Observed in the integration

  • Under 100 ms per Sage decision, as reported by Capacitr across its six integration surfaces.
  • Zero observed false positives across 152 audited money-moving tool calls.
  • Zero reported vendor-side incidents over two months of production traffic.
