Cost surprises: squads are pricier than you think
If you don’t measure, you’ll underestimate. Costs come from tool retries, long context, and model choice — especially with multiple agents.
Checklist
Track spend daily from logs (even a crude summary beats guessing).
Set budgets and alert thresholds before scaling up agents.
Optimize: shorten context, reduce retries, pick cheaper models for routine jobs.
