Definition
Tiered audit cost gating means Quri reads your site with a fast, low-cost model and reserves the heavier, pricier model for the reasoning that needs it. Bulk extraction of your pages runs cheaply; the capable model only steps in to synthesise findings. That is what keeps your audit fast and affordable enough to run again and again.
How to do this in Quri
- Run a website or Instagram audit at /app/audit, or the free instant audit.
- Quri extracts your pages with a fast, low-cost model first.
- The capable model steps in only to reason over what was extracted and write the findings.
- Re-run audits freely — the tiering keeps each pass cheap rather than charging top rates to read.
Frequently asked
- What model reads my website?
- A fast, low-cost model does the bulk reading and field extraction. Quri only escalates to its heavier, more capable model for the reasoning that produces your findings, so most of the work runs cheaply.
- Does the cheaper model make the audit worse?
- No — the cheap model handles extraction, which it does well, and the capable model still does the reasoning. You get the same findings at a fraction of the cost, which is what lets Quri offer a free instant audit.
