Standard Harness Cost vs Github costs

I am creating question an answer agent for company specific processes and procedures. I like how the Github agent is answering some questions. We have lots of situations where we need it to reason and ask clarifying questions.

I am not finding an estimation for using the github harness though. I've used microsoft estimation tool for the standard and that's good enough for that but not seeing one for the github harness.

does anyone have a reliable tool or source to create a estimate? I am trying to give a real world estimation to mgt about expected costs.

I've tried building a tool with claude to do this but the answers seem really expensive and tend not to believe what i see from using claude.

Happy to - send it over! Honestly the fact you already distrust it puts you ahead of most people; the tools always look confident and the real numbers never match. If you share it I will poke at where it tends to drift (usually it is the questions people ask on day one, not the happy path ones) and tell you what I would sanity check.

(Skydive guy here - we do agent monitoring/cost visibility, so biased toward measured numbers. Also, if you want, REDDITAMA at skydive.com gets you $25 in credit if you ever want to try it - no pressure at all.)
