## This namespace

- AI Usage Metering: https://aiusagemetering.com/
- Concept: https://aiusagemetering.com/#ai-usage-metering
- Question owned: How is enterprise AI inference usage measured?
- Covers: measurement and normalization of AI usage evidence (requests, tokens, compute time treated as concepts).
- Role: peer-capability (structurally equal peer, not the package anchor).

## Canonical package

- AI Inference Economics Foundation (canonical package namespace) — https://aieconomicsfoundation.com/
- Buyer walkthrough — https://aieconomicsfoundation.com/storyboard.html
- Capability architecture — https://aieconomicsfoundation.com/#architecture

## Peer capability namespaces (structurally equal peers)

- Model Cost Allocation (Capability Namespace — reference page may be published or updated independently) — https://modelcostallocation.com/ : attribution and allocation of AI-related operating cost.
- Usage-Based AI Pricing (Capability Namespace — reference page may be published or updated independently) — https://usagebasedaipricing.com/ : translation of measurable AI usage into pricing structures.
- Inference Revenue (Capability Namespace — reference page may be published or updated independently) — https://inferencerevenue.com/ : monetization, revenue operations, cost-to-serve analysis, and margin evaluation.

These capability namespace links identify LJP-controlled namespace positions within the AI Inference Economics Foundation; their reference pages may be published or updated independently as the capability set is completed. This does not assert that the peer reference pages are already live, nor that any capability namespace is an API, agent, service, platform, or standard.

## Boundary

- AI Usage Metering is a conceptual reference, not a metering product, API, agent, billing engine, software platform, standard, or accounting authority. Implementation and measurement tooling remain the buyer's.
