# Cloud-equivalent reference pricing for the "spend avoided" rollup.
#
# Methodology: for each routed task, estimate what it WOULD have cost on a paid frontier API,
# valued at a reference frontier price — here Claude Sonnet, $3/MTok input, $15/MTok output. The
# rollup multiplies estimated tokens (a chars/4 heuristic over the visible prompt + response) by
# these rates. Values are US dollars per 1,000,000 tokens. Tune them to whatever frontier model you
# want to compare against.
#
# Set `placeholder: true` if your rates are rough/illustrative — the `tanglebrain --stats` rollup
# then flags every figure as PLACEHOLDER so no number is mistaken for a precise cost.
