## Fast Break-Even Math

| If the workspace saves... | At an effective hourly value of... | Value recovered |
| --- | ---: | ---: |
| 30 minutes | $30/hour | $15 |
| 1 hour | $30/hour | $30 |
| 2 hours | $30/hour | $60 |
| 1 hour | $50/hour | $50 |
| 2 hours | $50/hour | $100 |
| 4 hours | $50/hour | $200 |

At `$29`, the pack breaks even if it prevents roughly one hour of cleanup time for a builder valuing their time around `$30/hour`.

## Where Agent Work Usually Leaks Time

| Leak | Common Symptom | Workspace Fix |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Missing verification | Agent says done, but no command or screenshot proves it | Verification ledger |
| Repeated prompt mistakes | Same weak instruction causes the same failure next week | Prompt library and failure modes |
| Scope drift | Agent changes adjacent files or refactors without permission | Run brief and stop condition |
| Lost context | Useful setup details disappear in chat history | Agent registry and run log |
| Hidden cost | Expensive runs do not get compared to time saved | Cost tracker |
| Weak handoff | Reviewer cannot tell what changed or why | Run log and review brief |

## Manual Calculator

```text
cleanup_minutes_avoided_per_week:
hourly_value:
weeks_used:

value_recovered = (cleanup_minutes_avoided_per_week / 60) * hourly_value * weeks_used
```

Example:

```text
cleanup_minutes_avoided_per_week: 30
hourly_value: 50
weeks_used: 4

value_recovered = (30 / 60) * 50 * 4 = $100
```

## When It Is Worth Buying

The full pack is likely worth it if at least one of these is true:

- you run AI coding agents several times per week;
- you often ask agents to edit real repositories;
- you have accepted agent work without exact verification;
- you repeat the same prompt or scope mistakes;
- you want a Notion-ready system instead of building your own tables;
- you need a lightweight review trail for agent work.

## When The Free Preview Is Enough

Use the free preview first if:

- you only run agents casually;
- you do not need a full workspace yet;
- you only need a single run log row;
- you want to test the field names before requesting the full pack.
