What an AI agent costs
to run for a year
Model calls are the smallest line on the bill. Here's the full 12-month budget we give clients before they commit, with the assumptions behind each number.
Run old and new side by side, compare outputs daily, retire the old one when the numbers match.
Who uses it, what they do today, what done looks like, what it replaces and who signs it off.

Multi-factor sign-in, a device inventory, backups you've actually restored and 3 other checks.

Overlap windows, written handovers and the meetings we cut.
