Cost & Capacity Planning
How do engineering time savings factor into total agent workload costs?
Engineering time savings are a critical but often overlooked component of total agent workload costs. Most teams that use agent-based tooling only count direct infrastructure spending, failing to account for significant hours spent fixing various broken workflows, handling failed retries, and completing manual recovery and cleanup work. Bear in mind that durable execution does not eliminate all manual engineering oversight and governance requirements.
