AI Workforce

Your hybrid workforce — human and AI — on one ledger

Engineer hours, Copilot seats, Claude API calls and autonomous agents — together, in one model. The hybrid workforce module models capacity, cost and contractor-to-agent swaps with the same rigour you apply to headcount.

Traditional workforce models break when half the workforce isn't human

Your cost-per-engineer metric doesn't account for the Copilot licences, the Claude API spend, or the inference costs from your autonomous coding agents. Finance sees a growing "cloud" line item with no way to attribute it to teams or projects. People teams maintain headcount that no longer reflects total capacity.

Meanwhile, engineering leaders can't answer basic questions: Is AI actually making us more productive? What's the true cost per feature when you include AI spend? If we swap three contractors for AI tooling next quarter, what's the delta to the P&L?

New metrics for the AI era

AI cost attribution

Attribute inference costs, API spend, and licence fees to specific teams, projects, and features. Know exactly where your AI budget is going and whether it's delivering value.

Agent tracking

Track autonomous coding agents as workforce members. See their output, cost, and utilisation alongside human engineers. Understand the true shape of your blended workforce.

Blended workforce metrics

New KPIs for the AI era: blended cost per feature, AI share of spend, human-to-agent ratio, and productivity multiplier. The metrics you need to plan a workforce that's part human, part AI.

Inference cost forecasting

Project AI spend forward based on usage trends, team growth, and planned agent rollouts. Budget for inference costs with the same rigour you apply to headcount.

The method behind the module

AI cost attribution is a new discipline. Learn the frameworks and mental models for managing a blended human-AI workforce.
