≈ $9–12M/mo — $30M/mo current fraud‑model compute × 30‑40 % reduction. Replace Stripe’s custom fraud‑risk model hosting layer with Litellm’s unified gateway. Route all fraud‑scoring calls through Litellm, keep existing model contracts, and monitor spend caps. Expect 30–40 % lower cloud GPU bill.
≈ $5–9M/mo — Assume 200k merchants, avg 500 verifications/mo → 400 extra × $0.10 = $40 per merchant → $8M/mo; range 5‑9M for 125‑225k merchants. Add a tiered verification fee: first 100 verifications each month are free, each additional verification costs $0.10. Bill automatically on the merchant’s Stripe invoice.
≈ $0.5–1M/mo — Assume 100k merchants adopt plugins averaging $25/mo; Stripe 20 % = $5/mo per merchant → $500k/mo; range $0.5‑1M for adoption variance. Create a curated marketplace where vetted tax‑software partners list their solutions. Stripe handles billing and takes a 20 % revenue share on each subscription. Promote to merchants using Stripe Billing who lack built‑in tax.
