AI spend should be measured per successful task
Ramp argues for allocating AI cost by use case, owner, completed outcome, failures, retries, review effort, and latency.
Signal contract
Ramp argues for allocating AI cost by use case, owner, completed outcome, failures, retries, review effort, and latency. A cheaper model or lower token bill can still be economically worse when it creates more failed runs, longer queues, or expensive human correction. Novelty: structural. Verification: source-inspected. This New Runtime record is an evidence-linked retrieval unit.
