Price every AI finance agent against the salary it actually stands in for. Set an honest attribution, read the net, and walk into the board meeting with a number instead of a vibe.
Price the stack ↓This column is attribution, not a cost-cut fantasy. An agent set to 40% means it does 40% of that role's real output, verified, and the remaining 60% still needs a human. Dial it to what you can defend in the room. Honest attribution is the one thing that separates a priced hire from a science project.

A finance agent isn't a subscription — it's a fractional hire. Price it against the role it stands in for, hold yourself to an attribution you can defend, and the net writes your board slide for you. The stack that pays for itself is the one you can take upstairs. The one that doesn't is a science project — worth building, not yet worth presenting.
