About Crystil
Our Story
Companies are spending more on AI every quarter, and almost none can say what they get back. When our CEO, John Kim, looked at the research, nobody had clear visibility into AI costs or margins: not per customer, per agent or per action.
Visibility alone wasn't enough. Leaders needed to know what to do with it. Crystil was built to give them that: an independent view of how AI is used, what it costs, what it returns and where it creates risk.
We don't sell models, seats or AI tools. Our only job is to measure AI honestly, so the people who answer for it can.
Principles
Measure before you scale.
Every AI tool should be tracked before it rolls out, so its cost and value are known from day one.
Independence earns trust.
A third party sees what an internal team won't, and a board believes it.
Educate, then solve.
We teach leaders what to ask, then give them the dashboard that answers it.
