Key Assumptions & Notes

Agent compute costs assume Claude Max 20x plan ($200/mo) absorbs most usage. Overage at API rates.
Human costs based on US salary benchmarks for mid-level roles. OA offshore VAs at $1,895/mo would reduce the human-side cost but still be 3-5x agent costs.
Apollo.io free tier provides 50 credits/month. Paid plan ($49/mo) may be needed at scale for all 5 verticals.
Agents operate 24/7 with no sick days, vacations, or onboarding time. Time-to-value is immediate.
Content Distribution Agent cost increases if Brad records daily (more clips to process).
LinkedIn outreach limited to 15-20 connections/day to avoid account restrictions.
All agent costs decrease over time as more functions shift from Opus to Sonnet/Haiku.
