Cut coding-agent cost
Compare observed attempt cost per accepted-task equivalent, then keep steering, retries, CI repair, reviewer correction, and rework as explicit coverage fields.
Solutions
Gate the coding-agent changes that can move cost or risk
A cheaper route, a new harness, or wider tool access can help while quietly moving the bill into engineer time, failed checks, and cleanup. Fullbeam puts the exact candidate through private repository work before it becomes a shared default.
What the release gate checks
The evidence behind the decision
Each result stays tied to the Stack Release, workload, repository state, and coverage that produced it. If evidence is missing, the gap remains visible in the release call.
Change a model or harness
Compare complete Stack Releases on the repositories and workload classes they will touch, from routine maintenance to authentication and migrations.
Plan model routing
Find the task classes where a cheaper model holds up, where a frontier model still earns its price, and where the sample is too small to make the call.
Widen autonomy carefully
Treat new tools, broader permissions, subagents, longer sessions, and automatic retries as release changes. The blast radius moves too.
Select or renew a vendor
Use public scores for the shortlist, then compare the vendor's complete product on your repositories, review standards, and real multi-step work.
Standardize shared defaults
Turn scattered instructions, skills, MCP tools, permissions, and workflows into versioned defaults that can be qualified before teams inherit them.

Cost migration creates the first funded decision, and every later model, harness, tool, permission, routing, or workflow change creates another release that has to earn its place.
