| Date | Item | Provider | Cost | Status |

| 2026-05-07 | Whisper voice for cipher | ElevenLabs | $0.00 (deferred) | optional Phase 2 |
Notes
- MVP demo ships with all-CSS/SVG aesthetic (no raster generation needed)
- Following Local-First Compute rule: exhausted CSS/SVG approach before paid generation
- Full $25 budget remains available for Round 2 if OBSIDIAN is selected for next funding tranche
- Highest-leverage paid spend if green-lit: ElevenLabs whisper voice for the Cipher of the Day reveal (~$0.30/render at scale)
Bedrock generation (the actual nightly cost in production)
- Per user-day: ~$0.018 Sonnet 4.6
- For Harnoor's pre-rendered demo Dossier: ~$0.018 (one generation, treat as $0 against the $25 line)
Total: $0.00 of $25.00 used.
