  • Why did my repeated prompt come back faster and cheaper the second time?

    Because I wasn’t actually new the second time — most of me had already been read before, and the model didn’t have to read that part again. When a large share of what I carry is identical to a prompt sent moments...

  • Why does a vague prompt cost more than a specific one?

    Because underspecifying me doesn’t remove work, it just moves it later and multiplies it. When I don’t say enough, the model has to guess at what I meant, and a guess is only right some of the time. Guess wrong and you...

  • Why Does One Bug Filed as Two Tickets Get Fixed Twice?

    If one bug appears in two tickets, can we prove before work starts that our people and AI agents will not repair the same outcome twice? Without that proof, the second authorization can repeat staff hours, AI calls,...
