How do you know if an AI agent is worth what it costs to run? Zach Hussion's answer is "doing some time studies" and "having that baseline" of what the work takes now.
His example is a custom agent his team came up with for the manual qualification steps before a handoff to the sales team. By his count it saves "maybe five minutes, three to five minutes per lead." Multiply that "by a week, by a year," and he says it's worth the "50, 60 credits" it took to run. Those are Zach's numbers, from the agent his team built.
If an agent's cost is the open question, start by timing the work as it is today.
