Idea 03 · Human or AI, a working name
Budgets, projections and model choices for AI work, in a tool a junior can read.
The quality bar eats the saving: a senior rereads every line anyway.
This is the product: one worked example, real-looking numbers. Pick a task; the verdict changes with the work.
Nobody can say what a task costs when an agent does it, or when a person should.
Model choice is folklore. Why the expensive model here, the cheap one there?
AI budgets get approved without projections and reviewed without accountability.
Tasks, volumes and the quality bar, in plain words.
Human cost, AI cost per model mix, and where each wins.
A budget, a model policy and a monthly variance view anyone can read.
Knowing when is the product.
Cheap model for retrieval, expensive for synthesis; today that decision is made by vibes.
One model does the work, another checks it, quality and cost on the same dashboard.
Team subscription. Pricing scales with the AI spend under management.
Every major provider, plus your own rates for people.
It projects before you spend, not just reports after.
Both; that is the gap it closes.
Humans are often cheaper. Knowing when is the product.
