Run-cost visibility
Measure workflow cost per run before scaling automation volume.
Agent and automation workflows can hide expensive stages. Workflow attribution reveals where spend compounds and what to fix first.
Teams can see total AI spend but cannot explain which workflow step or run pattern is driving variance.
Measure workflow cost per run before scaling automation volume.
Find the workflow stage causing inflation, then patch quickly.
Apply budget policies to workflows that represent real spend risk.
Carry workflow identifiers, stage tags, and stable request IDs.
Opsmeter maps mixed-provider usage into workflow-level metrics.
Compare baseline and current cost/run by workflow and endpoint.
| Dimension row | Metric | Context |
|---|---|---|
| workflow: sales_email_generator | $0.24 / run | Healthy with bounded output length. |
| workflow: support_auto_resolve | $1.08 / run | Escalation branch increases token cost. |
| workflow: report_builder | +29% monthly cost | Volume growth without prompt compression. |
Start with one endpoint, then expand attribution coverage by tenant, user, and workflow.
