Anthropic Integration in Durham
Integrating Claude into Durham applications, where how you structure a request changes what it costs. A large stable context — policies, documentation, examples — can be cached and reused across calls at a fraction of the price, so the difference between a well-shaped integration and a naive one is measured in the monthly bill.
Why this comes up
The problem
The same fifteen pages of reference material are sent with every single request, at full price each time.
What you get
What we deliver
- Stable context placed first and cached, so repeated calls do not pay for it again
- Prompts structured so the cacheable portion is genuinely unchanging
- Long-context use judged against retrieving only what is relevant
- Streaming used where responses are long enough for latency to matter
- Batch processing considered for work that does not need an immediate answer
- Usage measured per feature, so cost is attributable rather than a single total

Durham's economy is dominated by its university and cathedral, so the commercial base is small and much of the local demand comes from spinouts and suppliers attached to the institutions rather than from independent industry.

Anthropic Integration in Durham — common questions
- How does caching change the cost?
- Substantially, where a large portion of each request repeats. Reference material, instructions and examples that do not vary between calls can be cached and reused, so an application sending the same context thousands of times pays for it once per cache period rather than every time.
- What makes context cacheable?
- Being identical and coming first. Anything that varies — a timestamp, a user's name, a request identifier — placed before the stable material invalidates everything after it, so the ordering of a prompt has a direct cost consequence that is easy to get wrong.
- Should we use long context or retrieval?
- It depends on how much of the material each question needs. Sending everything is simpler and sometimes better, but where a question touches one section of a large corpus, retrieving that section is both cheaper and often more accurate than relying on the model to locate it.
- Why measure usage per feature?
- Because a single monthly total tells you nothing actionable. Attributing spend to individual features shows which ones justify their cost and which are consuming a disproportionate share, and that is usually where the largest saving sits — a feature nobody expected to be expensive.
- Do you work with businesses across County Durham?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North East, including Durham and the surrounding County Durham area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Durham businesses do you usually work with?
- Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Tourism & Heritage, Public Sector, Retail and Research.
- Do you cover the areas around Durham?
- Yes — we work throughout North East, including Newcastle, Sunderland, York. Durham is an urban area of roughly 70,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Durham region rather than the city boundary alone.
