Alteryx, NextWave Cut LLM Token Use 95% in Reconciliation Test
Global – October 27, 2026 -- Routing deterministic reconciliation work to an Alteryx One workflow cut token consumption by up to 95%, a 20x reduction, in a benchmark run by financial services consultancy NextWave, an Alteryx partner.
NextWave tested a 120-trade Product Control reconciliation two ways
The workload was a daily front-office-to-back-office reconciliation. It validated open trades, valuations, risk and cash balances across 120 trades, then explained differences and proposed next steps.
In the first run, an LLM received the front-office and back-office files directly and compared them unaided. In the second, the LLM called the Front Office Back Office Data Reconciliation workflow on Alteryx One through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Alteryx executed the comparison logic, and the LLM interpreted the output and recommended next steps.
