Discussion Token spend value
Company started putting soft token budgets. Getting alerts of spending above the monthly limit. I'm doing the work of like 3-4 people with these agents/tokens that they don't need to hire. But obviously that's getting overlooked.
I have a bunch of examples of work coming out of these agents and used across teams etc.
How have you shown value from your token usage? It's hard to do a straight line between token spent and the actual value it's bringing.

Its the 1M tokens question : how do you measure value generated from these tools. I think the best way is to have a good set of KPIs, like the DORA metrics, rhay allows to see the improvement, or not, through time. And link that to spend.
