Total Cost = Cadence × Conversation × Computation × Composition
Cadence: How often does each user run an agent? More sessions = higher consumption cost.
Conversation: How deep is each session? More turns means the agent is doing more reasoning per interaction.
Computation: The cost per turn — driven by model complexity, data grounding, and tool calls. Simple lookups are cheap; deep analysis costs more.
Composition: What mix of agents does each user group rely on? A team heavy on Strategy agents costs more than one using mostly Information Retrieval.
