Model providers bill calls, tokens and cached context. Customers operate investigations, reviews, support cases and software changes. The two views meet only when every call is attached to the job it helped deliver.
One job can carry several kinds of cost
A multi-step job may use a strong model for one decision, a smaller model for routine work, an acceptance check after each output and an additional attempt when a step fails. A provider bill records the calls. The workflow record explains why they happened.
That distinction makes the cost actionable. The team can trace an overrun to a line, a step, a model assignment or a recovery attempt instead of treating the bill as one undifferentiated total.
Commit before the week starts
Once repeated work has a measured structure, the team can price one job and the weekly queue. The commitment answers a practical question: how many items are expected to complete this week inside the budget and operating thresholds?
Live runs then show actual spend and progress against that commitment. A table gives the quick status across every run. A board shows where work is building up. Opening one line reveals the step sequence, waits, checks and recovery state.
Close the loop with the report
At the end of the period, cost sits beside first-pass yield, exception rate, p95 cycle time and budget reliability. The report explains what the workflow delivered and whether it held the controls the team set.
