i really would love to know where the data is coming from

founder here and wanted to clear a couple of things up: by default the tool only reads usage telemetry that Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor already write locally to your own machine. token counts, dollar amounts, timestamps. no prompts, no code, no file contents. if you're on a team, your org gets a private internal scoreboard scoped to your org. real names, broken down by team and project, visible only to people insi…

Thanks for the clarification, that makes a ton of sense. Love the ideea.

You sign up with them and they track your usage. Why would anyone want to do this? It’s slop all the way down.

So it’s heavily self selecting and pointless.

If you think tracking AI usage and connecting it back to outcomes and ROI is pointless, you are likely going to be without a job soon. See commentary from Cloudflare, ClickUp, Meta, etc.

Not just a problem communicating but a lack of a problem here. Why do I want to publish my team's ai usage with this random site? It's all risk and no upside.

It's an anonymous leaderboard, not sure you read the site: https://costhawk.ai/leaderboard

Tried it just now and really like the concept. It's a lot more than a private leaderboard. Going to onboard the rest of our team and setup a leaderboard for our next product sprint.
