Every API call, every model query, every tool invocation your agents make is a financial decision executed in milliseconds, without approval, around the clock. Most enterprises won't see the total until the invoice closes. We call that exposure Agent Debt. This report documents why it's structural, why your current stack can't fix it, and what to build instead.
What you'll find inside:
- Why agent costs routinely jump 10x between prototype and production
- The legal precedent establishing that organizations bear full liability for autonomous agent spending decisions
- Why 40% of agentic AI projects will be canceled by 2027, and the governance gap driving it
- A six-layer framework for governing agent economics before costs are incurred
No fluff. Built for CTOs, CFOs, and enterprise teams running agents in production.
