Economics

Economics is a category about what it costs to work with an agent and how to measure it. The first article, “Spend by fact, not by feeling”, sets the main principle: judge costs by recorded figures, not by the impression the work left. Here there will be material on token spend, cache reads and the price of tasks, stating where the figures come from. The category is useful for anyone who wants to compare ways of working and understand where the money goes before deciding to scale. The tone is calm: no calculations for effect and no promises of savings. The articles are short, with concrete numbers where they exist and a note when some data is not yet available. When comparing options, it matters to look at spend, not at how long the work took.
