Platform and operating-mode selections are descriptive. They do not alter the illustrative rates in 0.20.0.
The takeaway
Where it goes
Modeled monthly spend allocation
Total annualized spend
Useful spend
Modeled recoverable spend
Assumptions (adjustable)
The 7.5% starting mix is illustrative. These rates are adjustable scenarios, not findings, benchmarks, maximums, or savings promises. The 50% validation ceiling is only an interface bound for this modeler.

What you won’t see in the bill
The model call is the visible line item. Cost per completed task is shaped by everything around it.
Xerg treats retry waste, exact no-progress tool loops, and net-negative cache lifecycles as monetary findings only when the required evidence is present. Seven other patterns remain informational signals and never contribute to modeled or audited waste totals.

Every extra model step is still metered, whether or not it advances the outcome.
A 2026 study found identical-task coding-agent runs varied by up to 30× in total tokens, while “higher token usage does not translate into higher accuracy.” Read the study →
Xerg replaces this scenario with three evidence-strict monetary findings, seven separate informational signals, detector coverage, and prioritized fixes from your runtime evidence.
