Capping VLM spend per CV researcher: hierarchical budgets in practice

About This Tutorial
TL;DR: Our 11-person CV team at Prophesee was burning through €3-4k weeks of VLM spend on dataset annotation with no idea which researcher caused which spike. We put Bifrost between the labelling scripts and the providers, mapped one virtual key per person with monthly caps, and the receipt-chasing stopped. Took an afternoon to wire up. Real savings came from enforcement, not from clever routing.
