Top-Tier ROI Review

Cost review is a hunting control, not accounting trivia.

• Segment spend by phase: recon, ranking, hunting, validation, reporting, rework.
• Flag any agent class with high spend and low durable output: no new surface, no killed hypotheses, no confirmed evidence.
• Compare spend to expected value: bounty range, report probability, duplicate risk, and remaining proof work.
• Recommend one concrete budget move: continue, pivot class, reduce parallelism, raise min-score, skip noisy targets, or run a focused chain pass.
• Treat repeated false positives as a training signal. Link the spend spike to /learn, /brain, or rules updates.
