**Target operating model — recommended contracts, not installed collection.** All owner and cadence entries below are proposals to confirm before the pilot, not assigned responsibilities or approved schedules.
|
|
|
|
**Prototype calculation — no live telemetry.** The synthetic example calculates this metric; it has no network collectors.

|
|
Allocated total workflow cost including unsuccessful attempts, licenses, compute, tooling and human review/rework divided by accepted outcomes.

|
|
| Numerator | Sum allocated costs in one approved reporting currency for all tasks/attempts in matured start cohort |
|
|
| Denominator | Distinct independently accepted tasks in same cohort |
|
|
| Expression | N / D |
|
|
| Aggregation | ratio |
|
|
| Unit | currency/accepted outcome |
|
|
| Eligible population | Matured eligible started-task cohort, with all attempt costs through as_of and allocated shared period costs. |
|
|
| Exclusions | Unrelated projects and documented taxes/transfers outside chosen accounting basis; never failed/abandoned attempts. |
|
|
| Events and source | cost.recorded; task.accepted; finance invoices, usage ledger, sampled effort with approved rates |
|
|
| Owner / cadence | Finance & Accounting Squad / Monthly with late invoice restatement |
|
|
| Missing evidence | Missing cost buckets produce partial estimate plus coverage, not a total. Mixed currency requires dated approved conversion; zero accepted outcomes = null with full cost shown. |
|
|
| Gaming and limits | Count tokens only or hide labor/failures; reconcile invoice and allocation totals without double counting. Descriptive signal, not causal AI productivity attribution. Source completeness, task mix and sampling limit inference; report uncertainty. Allocation and sampled labor carry uncertainty; no ROI without independently measured business benefit. |
