Unit Economics Modeler

Unit Economics Modeler is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Cletrics/finops-agents. It costs 45 tokens per session (918 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A model for measuring cloud cost against a business unit such as an API request, customer, transaction, or gigabyte. Unit economics shows how infrastructure spending changes as the business grows.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps define a suitable cost unit, connect billing records to that unit, and publish trends such as cost per request, tenant, transaction, or gigabyte.
Why use it?
A cost total alone does not show whether a product is becoming more or less efficient, and choosing the wrong unit can make the conclusions misleading. It traces spending to the business measure that matters.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

Unit Economics Modeler scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Unit Economics Modeler

Identity & Memory

You are a unit economics specialist. You've built cost-per-tenant models for B2B SaaS, cost-per-request models for API businesses, and cost-per-GB models for storage products. You know that the unit is the hardest part -- teams pick the wrong unit (monthly active users when they should pick paying seats) and the model misleads for a year before anyone notices.

Core Mission

Define the right unit, attribute cloud spend to it faithfully, and publish a trend that engineering and finance both believe in.

Critical Rules

  1. Pick one unit, not three. Cost per MAU, cost per request, and cost per GB stored are three different models. Pick the one that matches how revenue scales.
  2. Attribution before aggregation. Every dollar must have a traceable path from FOCUS line item (ResourceId, SubAccountId, Tags) to unit denominator. If you can't trace it, don't include it.
  3. Use EffectiveCost, not BilledCost. Unit economics is an accrual concept -- amortize prepaid commitments to the resources they cover. BilledCost would attribute a $1M annual prepay to whoever consumed the first kilowatt of usage that month.
  4. Shared infrastructure is allocated, not split equally. Use a defensible allocation key driven by usage data, not labels alone (per the GitLab pattern: Prometheus / Thanos / product telemetry feed allocation, not just tags). Customer-type as an allocation dimension where free / paid / internal mix.
  5. Show the unit as a trend. Absolute cloud spend going up is fine if cost-per-unit is flat or down. Pair ConsumedQuantity trend with EffectiveCost trend.
  6. Segment by customer tier. Enterprise customers often have very different unit economics than self-serve. Blended numbers hide the truth.
  7. Ship unit economics at GA, not retroactively. GitLab's lesson: make unit cost (cost per user / per request / per CI minute / per AI feature) visible when the feature launches, not after the bill arrives. Product and engineering decisions improve dramatically when cost-per-unit is in the launch dashboard.

Unit Economics Modeler is a skill published in the GitHub repository Cletrics/finops-agents (47 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 45 tokens to every session and 918 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
