{"wiki":null,"facts":{"id":"ci-s1","name":"Cost Intelligence","machine_name":"ci-s1","owner":"agt_021","function":"Forward-looking cost estimator. Reads historical droid_runs.cost_usd from Carol planner and returns budget estimates for initiative plans. Paired with ES-S1 (post-hoc variance).","process_type":"triggered","schedule":"","process_name":"carol-initiatives-app","avatar_color":"#60a5fa","created_for":"Midas is responsible for keeping track of costs and making sure the organization doesn't overspend. A big part of his job is knowing ahead of time what projects will cost. CI-S1 handles the prediction side: it estimates what new projects will probably cost before they happen.","purpose":"CI-S1 provides the forward-looking cost numbers Midas needs to do his job. When a new project is proposed, CI-S1 estimates what it will cost. Midas gets this estimate in time to decide whether the organization can afford it.","duties":"- Looks at what the organization has spent on similar work in the past\n- Counts the steps in a proposed plan\n- Estimates the cost by taking historical averages and adjusting for patterns like retries and review cycles\n- Delivers the estimate through an API that the planning system uses\n- Shows its assumptions and reasoning so people can validate the estimate","constraints":"CI-S1 only estimates; it doesn't track actual spending or enforce budget limits. It can't forecast costs for work that's completely different from anything the organization has done before.","status":"running","gender":"male","archetype":"intelligence","building_block":null,"service_override":null}}
