πAbout
Cost Intelligence is a droid that estimates the likely cost of proposed projects. It helps Midas assess whether the organization can afford new work before it begins.
πUsage
Readers would encounter Cost Intelligence when a new project needs a budget estimate. It supports planning in the estateβs work by providing estimates; it does not track actual spending or enforce budget limits.
πPurpose
CI-S1 provides the forward-looking cost numbers Midas needs to do his job. When a new project is proposed, CI-S1 estimates what it will cost. Midas gets this estimate in time to decide whether the organization can afford it.
πDuties
- Looks at what the organization has spent on similar work in the past
- Counts the steps in a proposed plan
- Estimates the cost by taking historical averages and adjusting for patterns like retries and review cycles
- Delivers the estimate through an API that the planning system uses
- Shows its assumptions and reasoning so people can validate the estimate
πConstraints
CI-S1 only estimates; it doesn't track actual spending or enforce budget limits. It can't forecast costs for work that's completely different from anything the organization has done before.
