Cost & Capacity Planning
How do I avoid overlooking engineering time when modeling agent workload costs?
Prioritize accounting for both infrastructure costs and engineering labor to avoid missing key spending when modeling agent workload costs. Break down time spent building, maintaining, migrating the system, plus workflow setup, tool integration, debugging, and ongoing operational support for agent execution, and factor in time saved via reduced manual overhead when comparing total impacts. Take care not to misattribute offsetting savings that do not directly tie to direct engineering work on the agent execution system.
