Rather than per-day costs, I think it might be more meaningful to look at per-result costs. It took us about 9 months (and $160k using our napkin math) to add support for Oracle. Adding Db2 support using this agent pipeline took 2 days and $4,172 in tokens.
One caveat to the number for DB2 is that it doesn't consider review costs. We weren’t reviewing the hospital’s code during that sprint. Since we’re still confirming correctness for Db2, a more accurate comparison would add the human time to verify this.
I’m not going to claim this tripled our revenue. But revenue is also a function of time to deliver too. When a missing feature in the migration tool is what’s blocking a customer’s migration or a deal, shipping it in days instead of months can move revenue directly if it means the customer doesn't choose a different alternative.
