Cost Breakdown:
- Embedding: 1,000 queries × $0.0001    = $0.10/day
- LLM calls: 1,000 queries × $0.08      = $80.00/day
- Total: $80.10/day × 30 days           = $2,403/month

Latency:
- Average: 3.5 seconds per query
- P95: 5.2 seconds

Cost Breakdown:
- Embedding: 1,000 queries × $0.0001    = $0.10/day

- Total: $16.10/day × 30 days           = $483/month

💰 Savings: $1,920/month (80% reduction)

Latency:
- Cache hits (800): ~10ms lookup         = Avg 10ms
- Cache misses (200): ~3.5s              = Avg 3,500ms
- Weighted average: (800×10 + 200×3500)/1000 = 708ms

⚡ Speedup: 3.5s → 0.7s (5x faster, 80% latency reduction)

- LLM cost: 10,000 × $0.10 = $1,000/day
