Our commitment
Sustainability
TailorFit runs on AI. We're honest about what that means for energy and water, and committed to doing something real about it, not just saying the right words.
The honest picture
Every time you tailor a resume, analyse a job description, or talk to Tai, a GPU in a data centre does work. That work draws power. That power requires cooling water. The industry has historically underreported this, and we won't.
We use Anthropic's Claude API. We don't train models ourselves, which means we don't carry the enormous carbon cost of training. But inference at scale still adds up, and we want to be clear-eyed about that.
Data centre cooling is a water issue as well as an energy issue. Modern GPU clusters use millions of litres of water annually. This is increasingly reported by major cloud providers, and it's a constraint that the AI industry is only beginning to take seriously.
What we're doing now
1% of revenue to carbon removal
TailorFit contributes 1% of all revenue to carbon removal throughStripe Climate. This funds permanent removal technologies: enhanced rock weathering, direct air capture, and biomass carbon removal. Not tree-planting credits. The CO₂ is physically extracted. We chose Stripe Climate specifically because it funds removal rather than offsets.
Matching the work to the right tool
Not every AI task needs the most processing power. Simple tasks — like short comparisons or quick bullet improvements — run on lighter, faster AI. Heavier work, like tailoring a full resume to a specific job, gets more capable processing when it genuinely needs it. Less power per request means less energy.
Tracking our AI usage honestly
Every time the AI runs, we log what it processed. This gives us an honest picture of our compute footprint over time — something we can measure, report on, and work to reduce as the product grows.
Hosting on renewable energy
We run on hosting providers that have committed to 100% renewable energy and carbon neutrality. We don't run our own servers, which means we benefit from the significant investment they've made in grid efficiency and clean energy.
No servers running when nobody's using it
Our backend only spins up during real requests — nothing sitting idle 24/7. The marketing site is entirely static: just files loading, no compute running in the background at all.
What we're working toward
- PlannedPrompt caching — using Anthropic's prompt caching API to avoid reprocessing identical system prompts on repeated calls. Direct energy and cost reduction.
- PlannedAnnual impact report — publishing our aggregate token usage, estimated CO₂e, and Stripe Climate contributions each year. Real numbers, honest uncertainty where the data doesn't exist yet.
- PlannedConservation mode — an opt-in setting that routes all AI calls to lighter models and lower token limits. Framed honestly: lower footprint, same core value for most tasks.
- FutureThird-party footprint audit — commissioning an independent estimate of TailorFit's total AI compute footprint, including Scope 3 emissions from our upstream providers.
- FutureIncrease Stripe Climate contribution — path to 2% or higher as the business grows. Revisit when revenue is predictable.
- FutureUser-facing impact visibility — let users see the approximate compute their generations used and what our offset contribution looks like attributed to their account.
Our principles
- Don't overclaim. We don't know our exact footprint. We'll say so, and publish what we do know, annually.
- Removal over offsets. Tree-planting credits are not the same as removing CO₂. We use Stripe Climate specifically because it funds permanent removal.
- Efficiency first. Every unnecessary token is the real cost. Reducing waste is more impactful than buying credits.
- No sustainability theatre. If we add a badge to this site, it will be backed by a verifiable action with a paper trail.
- Transparency compounds. Publishing this page, updating it when things change, and holding ourselves to it matters more than any single initiative.
Stripe Climate member
1% of every TailorFit payment goes to permanent carbon removal. Stripe routes contributions to a portfolio of vetted removal technologies: enhanced rock weathering, direct air capture, and biomass carbon removal with long-term geological storage.
