you gave your team a monthly number and everyone wrote it down
you had priced one meter of four
the figure came off the token column,
because that is the column with a page,
and the three that are not on that page do not care what you told anyone
a threshold multiplier, a cache that misses without a key,
and tool calls at five dollars a thousand
none of it moves while your usage stays flat,
all of it moves the moment a conversation gets long
you are not going to be wrong by a percentage
you will be wrong by a factor,
in front of the people who wrote the number down
