Juicebox Cost Tuning

Cost Factors

Reduction Strategies

1. Cache search results (avoid duplicate queries)
2. Use filters (fewer wasted enrichments)
3. Only enrich top-scored candidates
4. Only get contacts for final candidates

Quota Monitoring

const quota = await client.account.getQuota();
console.log(`Searches: ${quota.searches.used}/${quota.searches.limit}`);
if (quota.searches.used > quota.searches.limit * 0.8) console.warn('80% quota used');

Overview

Use cost controls as a safety boundary: validate them first in a sandbox, reduce unnecessary processing, and never treat cost optimization as permission to expand data or outreach scope.

Prerequisites

• An approved budget, synthetic sandbox fixture, source/destination allowlists, suppression controls, current quota baseline, and a rollback owner.

Instructions

1. Measure cache and batching changes with synthetic inputs and aggregate counters only; reject unapproved sources, destinations, or contact exports.
2. Compare each canary to the approved quota baseline, verify suppression and contacts_exported=0, and stop on material scope or policy drift.
3. Promote cost settings only after owner approval; restore the prior configuration and cancel queued work on failure.
4. Retain a redacted summary and delete test artifacts at the end of the approved window.

Output

Record a cost-control receipt with environment, baseline and aggregate usage, cache/batch setting, suppression/no-export results, owner approval, rollback action, and retention/deletion proof. Exclude query text, contacts, and credentials.

Error Handling

Examples

env=staging; fixture=synthetic; cache=enabled; usage_delta=-18%; suppression=pass; contacts_exported=0; rollback=available supports an approval decision.
