💰 Cost Analysis

Current State (Traditional QE)

• Test Generation: $0.002/test × 10,000 tests = $20/month
• API Calls: $0.003/1K tokens × 300K tokens = $900/month
• Total: $920/month

With Agentic-Flow

• Test Generation: Agent Booster (local) = $0/month
• Simple Tests: DeepSeek R1 @ $0.00002/1K × 200K = $4/month
• Complex Tests: Claude Sonnet @ $0.003/1K × 50K = $150/month (kept for quality)
• Sensitive Tests: ONNX local = $0/month
• Total: $154/month

Savings: $920 - $154 = $766/month (83% reduction)

With Full Optimization:

Risk 1: Learning Curve

Mitigation: Phased rollout, start with Agent Booster (simple)

Risk 2: Existing Test Compatibility

Mitigation: Import existing tests as patterns, gradual migration

Risk 3: Model Quality Variance

Mitigation: Use multi-model router (quality for complex, cost for simple)

Risk 4: Lock-in Concerns

Mitigation: Built on open standards (MCP, SQLite), local-first
