Agentic AI pricing, with the economics visible.
Price variable agent workflows without hiding retries, tool calls, context growth, or long-running execution inside an arbitrary subscription.
The commercial problem
Two requests that look like the same task can take very different paths through planning, retrieval, tools, model calls, and recovery.
The economic mechanism
P90 measures the cost distribution behind a completed workflow and separates a readable customer unit from the operational drivers that protect margin.
A scenario worth modelling
A research agent completes simple tasks in one pass but uses several tools for complex accounts. A hybrid allowance and overage structure can keep the normal path simple while pricing exceptional load honestly.
The p90 workflow
Send product telemetry, define the workflow unit, compare tail cost, simulate subscription or hybrid structures, and keep approval separate from implementation.
