LLM Cost Reduction | Efficiency Maximization
A helping hand when you need it
Understanding how to optimize your LLM use to get maximium ROI at lowest cost can be challenging. Our free LLM cost efficiency courses
provide a wealth of tips and strategies for getting the most out of AIs like Claude Code, Codex and Cursor. However, some questions and
challenges are only resolved when someone looks at your specific situation and gives you a clear path forward.
That's where the Clarity Consult comes in.
During these strategic consultations, you'll benefit from the knowledge and experience of the LLM Whisperer Method's creator.
We'll review your current LLM workflows, agent setup, token burn rates and other operational details.
After the session you'll receive a clear set of next steps to maximize your LLM efficiency and ROI.

Who's Running the Session
I'm Fard Johnmar. I've spent over 20 years in tech, working with startups, government agencies, Fortune 500s, and major consultancies on innovation, strategy, and implementation. I've built products and services in NLP, machine learning, analytics, and AI from the ground up, and I've been implementing LLM workflows and optimization techniques since the dawn of the ChatGPT era.
I co-authored the international bestseller ePatient 2015, which explained and predicted a number of today's major technology innovations and their impact on health and wellness. My tech innovation work has been cited in Forbes, NPR, and other publications. I'm a sought-after speaker on innovation and technology, and have spoken at events around the world and have served on innovation and judging panels for South by Soutwest and Columbia University.
What drives me is closing the gap between adopting technology and getting maximum efficiency from it. I developed the LLM Whisperers Method because I see the same pattern everywhere: people are spending far more than they need to. Why? Because of the models they choose and how they use them.
I regularly conduct and publish data on technology innovation, including Shipping the Future, an examination of how builders on Reddit embraced AI-aided coding tools, and women's health innovation research sponsored by AARP. I'm currently working on releasing AI Security Guard, a multi-faceted platform that improves LLM security from a cost, device hardening, and content protection perspective.
How It Works
Intake Form
Before the session, you'll complete a short intake covering your situation and key questions. If you're active in the coaching program, you can provide information about your progress and challenges.
Strategic Discussion
A focused video conversation (individual or group) around your needs, key challenges, and path forward.
Post-Session Clarity Guide
A written summary of the session: what we covered, key recommendations, and specific next steps you can act on immediately. You can book multiple sessions for ongoing support
Frequently Asked Questions
The 90-day coaching courses are self-directed educational and skill-building resources designed for your agent to deliver and personalize. They're comprehensive and cover the major cost-reduction habits systematically.
A Clarity Consult is a focused, one-on-one conversation where we look at your specific setup, your workflows, agent configuration, token burn patterns, and current challenges. It's the right next step when you want a targeted strategy that goes beyond the general course material, or when you have complex questions and needs that the courses don't fully address.
You'll share your current LLM workflows, including models you use, agent configurations, typical tasks, and areas where you're challenged to use agents efficiently and effectively. Sessions can focus on everyday agent management as well as more sophisticated topics like multi-agent workflows or plugging cost leakages in automated systems. Sessions are strategic: we'll tie in concepts and strategies outlined in the course material to your everyday workflows and high-value tasks, and build a clear set of next steps tailored to your situation.
Individual sessions are 45 minutes. Group sessions can accommodate up to 4 participants and run for 90 minutes, giving time for everyone's questions to be addressed.
It's recommended that you complete the assessment and review the research before booking a session. This will provide you with a good understanding of the baseline concepts around effective LLM utilization strategies and the key cost drivers influenced by how you use AI. This will provide you with baseline knowledge and support and help you maximize your session time.
Group sessions are available for up to 4 participants. Clarity Consults are focused on your situation, at the team and individual levels.
You receive a post-session Clarity Guide, a documented set of next steps tailored to your workflows. It maps directly to the cost-reduction behaviors outlined in the research and is aligned around concepts highlighted during sessions.
That's actually the ideal scenario. The intake form includes an optional field to share your coaching progress and where you're hitting friction. The consult then becomes a way to unblock specific challenges and accelerate your progress through the course material.
We cover model selection strategy, retry rates, cache utilization, context management, system prompt design, and workflow optimization. If you've identified a specific pain point from your assessment or from daily use, anything from agent configuration to token budgeting, we'll address it directly.
Yes. A single session works for a focused strategy review, but many people benefit from a series of sessions, especially those working through a 90-day coaching course and wanting periodic check-ins.
I also offer a 4-session pack at a reduced rate, designed for people who want sustained guidance while they build new habits. Reach out to discuss which format makes sense for your situation.
If none of the listed times work for you, reach out directly.
Yes — I offer longer-form group education sessions for teams and organizations, as well as talks and workshops on LLM cost efficiency. These go deeper into the LLM Whisperer Method and cover topics like model selection strategy, agent configuration, and organizational practices for cost-conscious AI use.
If that sounds like what you're looking for, reach out with your request and we can discuss format, topics, and timing.
