One product: the $499 bundle
No tiers, no seats, no add-ons. Every paid item in the edition ships in this bundle.
47-page field guide
Ten chapters across the agent economy: where the tokens go, cost per solved task across 30 production agents, framework overhead measured on matched tasks, 22 models priced on one workload, retry and compaction waste, and the 2027 budget model. Chart data is rebuilt from the same open dataset the site publishes, then frozen at the edition date.
CSV + JSON export
Every project profile and model price sheet behind the report, frozen at the edition snapshot (2026-10-21). Load it into your own model, diff editions, or reproduce any table in the PDF. The public dataset stays free — the paid edition is the frozen, analysed cut.
Excel cost model
Tokens per task, cost per task, cost per solved task and annual spend, with assumptions you can edit. Built so a finance or platform lead can put a number in a budget without rebuilding the arithmetic.
Quarterly refresh notes
When model pricing or a tracked project changes materially, we send a short refresh note with the revised figures — free for edition buyers. The next full edition is Q4 2027.
Licence
The bundle includes an internal team licence: share the PDF, dataset and calculator inside your organisation. Redistribution outside your company, resale or publishing the tables requires written permission — ask us, it is usually a short conversation.
Verifiable snapshot
Each edition carries a SHA-256 fingerprint and a live verification endpoint, so a reader can check that a quoted figure belongs to this edition instead of taking it on trust.
