Lifecycle

How it works

Four steps from submission to delivered artifacts.

1step 1

Submit a batch

Pick a direct route or a curated workflow contract. Set splitting policy and delivery target — every batch ships with our 24-hour SLA.

2step 2

Preview the lowest route

Batchrouter evaluates eligible provider lanes and shows the cheapest route with a pre-dispatch cost preview and a routing explanation.

3step 3

We route & retry

Dispatched to the eligible lane, or split into internal lanes while you keep one customer batch.

4step 4

Receive artifacts

Finished outputs and a settlement receipt land via artifact download, webhook, or your storage target.
