Cost Per Finding: Griffin AI vs Mythos
Token spend per scan is the wrong metric. Cost per actionable finding is the right one — and it's where engine-plus-LLM economics dominate pure-LLM economics.
Elastic Scale Behaviour: Griffin AI vs Mythos
Scanning bursts when a monorepo merges. We explain why Griffin AI absorbs the spike gracefully while Mythos-class tools degrade into rate-limit queues.
False Positive Cost: Griffin AI vs Mythos
A false positive is not free. It costs engineer attention, trust in the tool, and eventually the security programme's credibility. We price the difference.
Task-Routed LLM Architectures For Security
One model for every task wastes budget on trivial work. Task-routed architectures match model capability to task requirements — the right lever for security at scale.
Triage Backlog Reduction: Griffin AI vs Mythos
A shrinking triage queue is the clearest sign a security programme is working. We explain why Griffin AI shrinks queues and Mythos-class tools grow them.
Engineer-Hour Savings: Griffin AI vs Mythos
The real cost of a scanner is not the subscription. It is the engineer hours lost to false positives, bad remediations, and noisy queues. We do the math.
Throughput At Scale: Griffin AI vs Mythos
Engine work parallelises cleanly. Model calls do not. We explain why Griffin AI's throughput scales with CPU while Mythos-class tools bottleneck on rate limits.
Cache Hit Optimisation: Griffin AI vs Mythos
Prompt caching and engine memoisation combine to make Griffin AI scans repeat-cheap. Pure-LLM tools recompute the same reasoning on every run.
Model Tiering Strategy: Griffin AI vs Mythos
Opus for reasoning, Sonnet for drafting, Haiku for scale. We break down when each tier earns its keep and why single-model architectures cannot compete.
Per-Scan Token Cost: Griffin AI vs Mythos
Tiered models and a deterministic engine cut token consumption to the moments that need reasoning. Pure-LLM tools pay full price for every trivial check.
