Watch token budget be included as part of employee TC figures - I feel this is an eventuality due to rising costs and "true pricing" slowly creeping in.

Current ventures feel moreso like a pilot program (you bought a private jet, now get a couple of your pilots to actually fly it) versus having an entire fleet of jets, and having to pay salaries to all those pilots, plus account for their fuel charges.

Right now all expenses are relatively "someone else's {problem,money,infra}".
