# Operations and Governance

This section defines how to run AVELIN's **AI Intelligence Platform** reliably, securely, and at enterprise scale.

Operations span all **3 pillars** (AI Lab, Cloud Token Factory, Enterprise Platform) and leverage **Cross-Model MoE** to deliver:

- **Intelligence up to 85% cheaper** than premium alternatives
- **Coding up to 86% cheaper** through optimized cascading
- **Agentic up to 87% cheaper** via intelligent tier selection

It is built for teams that must keep productivity high while maintaining strong governance, data privacy, and service continuity.
