Day 2 of Green, Efficient AI is live: The Invisible Bill.

Every AI response carries five costs at once — energy, water, carbon, hardware, money. One sits on a dashboard the team already has open. The other four are simply waiting to be brought into view.

What it means: efficient AI begins the moment all five become visible at the point of decision — every query, every retry, every agent loop, every GPU hour.

Who it's for: every seat at the table — engineering, platform, architecture, sustainability, business. No single role solves efficient AI alone, and every role has something to bring.
