Teams measuring the cost of AI-agent workloads
Worth noticing
In its 2,000-run test workload, the costliest 5% account for 61% of spend; the tail-shape graphic is labeled illustrative.

Field notes

The workflow accepts a sanitized batch of agent-run records and returns per-outcome cost, tail-spend share, and a five-layer breakdown. A separate offline replay compares a budget or routing policy with historical runs, including stopped runs, saved waste, and successful runs affected. The demonstration uses a loaded labor rate for human review and notes that each user's review cost will differ.
