Model Goodhart's Law: See how $28,000 monthly token runaway stems from gamified usage targets vs FinOps controls.
| Dev Squad | Behavior | Cost | Output |
|---|
In enterprise AI teams, measuring success by raw token volume triggers Goodhart's Law: when a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure. Without controls, unconstrained rogue agents spin recursive sub-agent loops and gamers inflate contexts, burning thousands of dollars with as much as 92% waste. Activating the FinOps Governance preset enforces a daily hard spend cap of one hundred dollars per developer alongside agent loop circuit breakers. Clicking Run 28-Day Cycle evaluates your policy, compressing runaway spending into verified output and dropping distortion to safe operational levels.
