Cost per task: the AI metric finance actually wants

A finished task includes model calls, retries, tools, hosting and the minutes a person spends reviewing. Most teams only count the first.

Count the whole task

We log every step of every task, so each month the client sees one number: what a completed ticket, invoice or document cost, compared with doing it by hand.

Push the cost down

Cheaper models for routine steps, caching for repeated lookups, and fewer handoffs as the rules improve. Costs per task usually fall by half in the first three months.
