Cost & Capacity Planning
How do I build an internal cost model for agent workloads?
You should build an internal agent workload cost model tied directly to your team’s core workload components. Map execution layer usage to specific workflow steps and associated resource time spent running agents, link model costs to relevant inference metrics, and include operational overhead such as engineering time invested in the workloads. Keep in mind durable execution does not eliminate all operational overhead, so account for ongoing team support alongside direct resource costs.
