Token cost is the visible tip. This orchestrator consolidates all twelve cost layers of an agentic system, weights the return by the real risk that the project stalls (Gartner: ~40% of agentic projects cancelled by 2027), and returns a board-ready verdict with payback. It chains every aicost layer calculator into one decision.
The orchestrator. It consolidates all twelve cost layers of an agentic system into one monthly TCO, models ramped value over a horizon, applies a cancellation risk-weighting (Gartner's ~40% agentic-cancellation rate, adjusted by six governance gates), and returns a board-ready verdict with payback. It chains every aicost layer calculator into a single decision.
New to this calculator? Start with the ⚡ Playground — a few sliders, instant ballpark. Then switch to the 🧮 Calculator for your exact number.
Two ways to use this: visualize in the Playground, then get your number in the Calculator.
Benefit vs the full cost stack, weighted by cancellation risk. Governance gates fixed at default here.
💡Risk-weighted ROI = (gross benefit x (1 - cancellation risk) - TCO) / TCO over the horizon.
