Cost & latency

Token and latency accounting — no dollar figure yet

This gateway's per-token pricing isn't public, so token counts and wall-clock latency are reported directly rather than converted to a monetary estimate. No formal quality-vs-cost frontier analysis (bootstrapped, with uncertainty) has been run yet — this is raw accounting, not that analysis.

Agent1 used ~5% more input tokens, ~9% more output tokens, and ~27% more latency than Baseline1 for the extra planner call — a real, measured overhead, not an estimate. Whether that overhead is worth it depends on the quality comparison on the agents page — where, once graded fairly, it currently isn’t.
