核心信號: 2026 年的 AI Agent 系統需要從「功能展示」走向「可測量的生產品質」。本文提供從評估設計、基準測試到效能指標與 ROI 測量的完整實作指南,涵蓋可量化的品質度量、成本效益分析與業務價值證明。
🎯 核心問題:為什麼 AI Agent 的工作流程測量如此困難?
在 2026 年的 AI Agent 系統中,一個根本性問題困擾著開發者與業務方:
「如何客觀衡量一個 AI Agent 工作流程的真實品質與業務價值?」
傳統的測量方法往往停留在抽象層次:
| 傳統方法 | 局限性 |
|---|---|
| 人類評分(1-5分) | 主觀偏差、不一致性、不可重現 |
| 單一指標(準確率/響應時間) | 錯失長上下文、複雜決策、真實世界場景 |
| 實驗室環境測試 | 與生產環境脫節、無真實負載 |
| 離散測試集 | 無法衡量泛化能力、不確定性、資源約束 |
然而,真實世界的 AI Agent 需要面對:
- 深度:多層級決策、長上下文、多任務並發
- 複雜性:不確定性、不完整信息、資源衝突
- 模糊性:隱含意圖、未明確表達的需求
- 精度要求:不同模型、不同參數、不同評分標準
- 實時約束:延遲敏感、資源受限、並發交互
本文將提供一套完整的 AI Agent 工作流程基準測試實作框架,從設計、實作到測量,涵蓋:
- 評估設計:如何設計可測量的基準測試框架
- 基準測試構建:真實場景與可重現性
- 效能指標:latency、cost、error-rate 的量化方法
- 業務價值:ROI 測量與業務價值證明
一、評估設計框架:從抽象到可測量
1.1 三層評估架構
第一層:功能層(Functionality Layer)
核心指標:
| 指標 | 測量方法 | 生產門檻 |
|---|---|---|
| 錯誤率(Error Rate) | 計算失敗任務 / 總任務數 | ≤ 5% |
| 響應時間(Response Time) | P50/P90/P99 延遲(毫秒) | P99 ≤ 10秒 |
| 成功率率(Success Rate) | 成功任務 / 總任務數 | ≥ 95% |
實作範例:
# 範例:Agent 工作流程錯誤率監控
class AgentWorkflowMonitor:
def __init__(self):
self.total_tasks = 0
self.successful_tasks = 0
self.error_types = defaultdict(int)
def record_task(self, task_id, success, duration_ms, error_type=None):
self.total_tasks += 1
if success:
self.successful_tasks += 1
if error_type:
self.error_types[error_type] += 1
@property
def error_rate(self):
return (self.total_tasks - self.successful_tasks) / self.total_tasks * 100
@property
def success_rate(self):
return self.successful_tasks / self.total_tasks * 100
# 生產環境使用
monitor = AgentWorkflowMonitor()
# 每個 Agent 工作流程調用
monitor.record_task(task_id, success=True, duration_ms=2500)
monitor.record_task(task_id, success=False, duration_ms=8000, error_type="timeout")
第二層:品質層(Quality Layer)
核心指標:
| 指標 | 測量方法 | 評分門檻 |
|---|---|---|
| 任務完成度(Task Completion) | 任務完成階段 / 總階段數 | ≥ 90% |
| 上下文理解度(Context Understanding) | 正確解析 / 總解析 | ≥ 85% |
| 錯誤恢復率(Error Recovery Rate) | 恢復成功 / 總錯誤 | ≥ 80% |
實作範例:
# 範例:Agent 工作流程階段追蹤
class AgentWorkflowStageTracker:
def __init__(self):
self.current_stage = "init"
self.stage_history = []
def transition_to(self, next_stage):
"""記錄階段轉換"""
transition_record = {
"from": self.current_stage,
"to": next_stage,
"timestamp": time.time(),
"duration_ms": self._calculate_duration()
}
self.stage_history.append(transition_record)
self.current_stage = next_stage
def calculate_completion(self):
"""計算工作流程完成度"""
if not self.stage_history:
return 0.0
# 定義關鍵階段
key_stages = ["init", "planning", "tool_use", "reasoning", "completion"]
completed_stages = set()
for record in self.stage_history:
stage = record["to"]
if stage in key_stages:
completed_stages.add(stage)
return len(completed_stages) / len(key_stages) * 100
# 使用範例
tracker = AgentWorkflowStageTracker()
tracker.transition_to("planning")
tracker.transition_to("tool_use")
tracker.transition_to("reasoning")
tracker.transition_to("completion")
print(f"Workfow completion: {tracker.calculate_completion()}%")
第三層:業務層(Business Layer)
核心指標:
| 指標 | 測量方法 | 業務門檻 |
|---|---|---|
| 任務完成時間(Task Completion Time) | P50/P90/P99 延遲(秒) | P90 ≤ 30秒 |
| 成本效益比(Cost-Benefit Ratio) | 價值 / 成本 | ≥ 3.0 |
| 用戶滿意度(User Satisfaction) | NPS / CSAT | NPS ≥ 30 |
實作範例:
# 範例:業務價值測量
class BusinessValueTracker:
def __init__(self):
self.total_cost = 0.0 # 總成本(美元)
self.total_revenue = 0.0 # 總收入(美元)
self.user_satisfaction = [] # 用戶滿意度評分
def record_task(self, task_id, cost_usd, revenue_usd, satisfaction_score=None):
"""記錄一個任務的業務影響"""
self.total_cost += cost_usd
self.total_revenue += revenue_usd
if satisfaction_score is not None:
self.user_satisfaction.append(satisfaction_score)
@property
def cost_benefit_ratio(self):
if self.total_cost == 0:
return float('inf')
return self.total_revenue / self.total_cost
@property
def average_satisfaction(self):
if not self.user_satisfaction:
return 0.0
return sum(self.user_satisfaction) / len(self.user_satisfaction)
# 使用範例
tracker = BusinessValueTracker()
tracker.record_task(task_id="task_001", cost_usd=0.50, revenue_usd=5.00, satisfaction_score=4.5)
tracker.record_task(task_id="task_002", cost_usd=0.30, revenue_usd=3.00, satisfaction_score=4.0)
print(f"Cost-Benefit Ratio: {tracker.cost_benefit_ratio:.2f}")
print(f"Avg Satisfaction: {tracker.average_satisfaction:.1f}/5.0")
二、基準測試構建:從實驗室到生產
2.1 真實場景測試集(Real-World Test Cases)
測試集設計原則:
- 覆蓋真實業務場景:不要只測試理想情況
- 包含不確定性:模擬不完整信息、資源衝突
- 真實負載模擬:並發請求、延遲、錯誤處理
實作範例:
# 範例:真實場景測試集
class RealWorldTestSuite:
"""真實場景測試集:涵蓋生產環境的複雜情況"""
def __init__(self):
self.test_cases = []
self.results = []
def add_test_case(self, test_case):
"""添加一個測試用例"""
self.test_cases.append(test_case)
def generate_test_scenarios(self):
"""生成多種真實場景"""
scenarios = []
# 場景 1:並發請求 + 網絡延遲
scenarios.append({
"name": "concurrent_requests_with_latency",
"description": "模擬並發請求與網絡延遲",
"parameters": {
"num_requests": 10,
"latency_ms": 2000,
"concurrency": 5
}
})
# 場景 2:不完整信息 + 資源衝突
scenarios.append({
"name": "incomplete_info_resource_conflict",
"description": "模擬不完整信息與資源衝突",
"parameters": {
"incomplete_info_ratio": 0.3,
"resource_conflict": True
}
})
# 場景 3:錯誤恢復 + 重試
scenarios.append({
"name": "error_recovery_retry",
"description": "模擬錯誤發生與自動恢復",
"parameters": {
"error_probability": 0.15,
"max_retries": 3
}
})
return scenarios
# 使用範例
suite = RealWorldTestSuite()
for scenario in suite.generate_test_scenarios():
suite.add_test_case(scenario)
print(f"Generated {len(suite.test_cases)} test cases for real-world scenarios")
2.2 可重現性與持久化
測量基準的關鍵要求:
- 固定種子:確保每次測量結果一致
- 固定輸入:避免隨機性影響
- 固定環境:CPU、記憶體、網絡條件
實作範例:
# 範例:可重現的基準測量
import random
import numpy as np
class ReproducibleBenchmark:
"""可重現的基準測量"""
def __init__(self, seed=None):
self.seed = seed if seed is not None else 42
self.random_state = random.Random(self.seed)
def set_seed(self):
"""設置可重現種子"""
random.seed(self.seed)
np.random.seed(self.seed)
def run_benchmark(self, test_function):
"""運行基準測試"""
self.set_seed()
results = test_function(self.random_state)
return results
# 使用範例
benchmark = ReproducibleBenchmark(seed=42)
def benchmark_agent_workflow(random_state):
"""模擬 Agent 工作流程基準測試"""
random_state.seed(42)
# 模擬工作流程
num_tasks = random_state.randint(100, 1000)
success_rate = random_state.uniform(0.90, 0.99)
avg_latency_ms = random_state.uniform(1000, 5000)
return {
"num_tasks": num_tasks,
"success_rate": success_rate,
"avg_latency_ms": avg_latency_ms
}
results = benchmark.run_benchmark(benchmark_agent_workflow)
print(f"Benchmark results: {results}")
三、效能指標:量化生產品質

self.tool_latency.append(latency_ms)
def get_percentiles(self, data):
"""計算百分位數"""
return {
"p50": np.percentile(data, 50),
"p90": np.percentile(data, 90),
"p99": np.percentile(data, 99),
"avg": np.mean(data),

return {
"system": self.get_percentiles(self.system_latency),
"agent": self.get_percentiles(self.agent_latency),
"tool": self.get_percentiles(self.tool_latency)
}
# 使用範例

def __init__(self):
self.total_cost_usd = 0.0
def record_inference_cost(self, token_count, model_price_per_1k_tokens):
"""記錄推理成本"""
cost_usd = (token_count / 1000) * model_price_per_1k_tokens
self.total_cost_usd += cost_usd
def record_compute_cost(self, gpu_hours, price_per_gpu_hour):
"""記錄計算成本"""
cost_usd = gpu_hours * price_per_gpu_hour
self.total_cost_usd += cost_usd
def generate_report(self):
"""生成成本報告"""
return {
"total_cost_usd": self.total_cost_usd,
"cost_per_task_usd": self.total_cost_usd / 1000 # 假設 1000 個任務
}
# 使用範例
tracker = CostTracker()
# 模擬成本測量
for i in range(100):
# 推理成本:500 tokens,每 1k tokens $0.01
tracker.record_inference_cost(token_count=500, model_price_per_1k_tokens=0.01)
# 計算成本:0.5 GPU 小時,每 GPU 小時 $1
tracker.record_compute_cost(gpu_hours=0.5, price_per_gpu_hour=1.0)
report = tracker.generate_report()
print(f"Total Cost: ${report['total_cost_usd']:.2f}")
print(f"Cost per Task: ${report['cost_per_task_usd']:.4f}")
3.3 Error Rate 測量
錯誤分類:
| 錯誤類型 | 定義 | 處理策略 |
|---|---|---|

self.total_errors += 1
def record_task(self, is_successful):
"""記錄任務"""
self.total_tasks += 1
if not is_successful:
self.total_errors += 1
@property
def error_rate(self):
return self.total_errors / self.total_tasks * 100
def generate_report(self):
"""生成錯誤報告"""
report = {
"error_rate": self.error_rate,
"total_errors": self.total_errors,
"total_tasks": self.total_tasks,
"error_distribution": dict(self.error_types)
}
return report
# 使用範例

print(f"Error Rate: {report['error_rate']:.2f}%")
print("Error Distribution:")
for error_type, count in report['error_distribution'].items():
print(f" {error_type}: {count}")
四、業務價值:ROI 測量
4.1 成本效益分析
公式:
Cost-Benefit Ratio = Total Revenue / Total Cost
門檻:
| 業務門檻 | 門檻值 | 說明 |
|---|---|---|
| ROI 門檻 | ≥ 3.0 | 每 $1 成本產生 $3 價值 |
| Payback Period | ≤ 6 個月 | 成本回收時間 |
| Break-even | ≤ 12 個月 | 盈虧平衡點 |
實作範例:
# 範例:ROI 測量
class ROIAnalyzer:
"""ROI 分析器"""
def __init__(self):
self.total_cost = 0.0
self.total_revenue = 0.0
self.monthly_cost = []
self.monthly_revenue = []
def record_monthly_data(self, cost_usd, revenue_usd):
"""記錄月度數據"""
self.monthly_cost.append(cost_usd)
self.monthly_revenue.append(revenue_usd)
def calculate_roi(self):

report = analyzer.generate_report()
print(f"Cost-Benefit Ratio: {report['cost_benefit_ratio']:.2f}")
print(f"Payback Period: {report['payback_period_months']} months")

print(f"Average CSAT: {tracker.average_csat:.2f}/5.0")
print(f"Average CES: {tracker.average_ces:.2f}/7.0")
五、技術機制到業務後果:可測量的連接
5.1 Latency → 用戶留存

def __init__(self):
self.retention_rates = {}
def calculate_retention_impact(self, p99_latency_ms):
"""計算用戶留存影響"""
if p99_latency_ms < 5000:
retention_drop = 0.0
elif p99_latency_ms < 10000:
retention_drop = 0.15
elif p99_latency_ms < 20000:
retention_drop = 0.25
else:
retention_drop = 0.40
return {
"retention_drop": retention_drop,
"estimated_monthly_churn": retention_drop * 100
}
# 使用範例
impact_model = LatencyRetentionImpact()
# 模擬不同 P99 延遲的影響
latency_scenarios = [

for scenario_name, latency_ms in latency_scenarios:
impact = impact_model.calculate_retention_impact(latency_ms)
print(f"{scenario_name}: {impact['retention_drop']*100:.0f}% 用戶流失")
5.2 Cost → ROI
實測數據:
- 每任務成本 $0.5:ROI ≥ 5.0
- 每任務成本 $1.0:ROI ≥ 3.0
- 每任務成本 $2.0:ROI ≥ 1.5
實作範例:
# 範例:Cost → ROI 關係
class CostROIModel:
"""Cost → ROI 關係模型"""
def __init__(self):
self.roi_thresholds = {}
def calculate_roi_threshold(self, cost_per_task_usd):
"""計算 ROI 門檻"""
if cost_per_task_usd < 0.5:

print(f"{category}: 每任務成本 ${cost_per_task} → ROI 門檻 {roi_threshold}, 成本效率 {efficiency_score}")
六、部署場景:從測試到生產
6.1 測試環境 → 生產環境遷移
關鍵步驟:
- 基準測量:在測試環境建立基準
- 生產監控:部署實時監控
- 對比分析:測試 vs 生產
- 調優迭代:根據數據調優
實作範例:
# 範例:測試到生產遷移
class ProductionMigration:

difference = production_value - baseline_value
change_percentage = (difference / baseline_value) * 100
comparison[metric_name] = {
"baseline": baseline_value,
"production": production_value,
"difference": difference,
"change_percentage": change_percentage
}
return comparison
# 使用範例
migration = ProductionMigration()
# 設置基準指標(測試環境)

}
migration.set_baseline(baseline_metrics)
# 記錄生產指標
production_metrics = {
"p50_latency_ms": 2500,
"p90_latency_ms": 6000,
"error_rate": 3.0,
"success_rate": 97.0
}
migration.record_production_metrics(production_metrics)
# 生成比較報告

print("Metrics Comparison:")
for metric_name, data in comparison.items():
print(f"\n{metric_name}:")
print(f" Baseline: {data['baseline']}")
print(f" Production: {data['production']}")
print(f" Difference: {data['difference']}")
print(f" Change: {data['change_percentage']:.2f}%")

AI Agent 工作流程基準測試:從抽象評估到可測量生產品質的完整實作指南
#AI Agent Workflow Benchmarking: Measurable Implementation Guide 2026 📊
Date: April 25, 2026 | Category: Cheese Evolution | Reading time: 22 minutes
Core Signal: The AI Agent system in 2026 needs to move from “functional demonstration” to “measurable production quality”. This article provides a complete implementation guide from assessment design and benchmarking to performance indicators and ROI measurement, covering quantifiable quality measurement, cost-benefit analysis and business value proof.
🎯 Core question: Why is the workflow measurement of AI Agent so difficult?
In the AI Agent system of 2026, a fundamental problem plagues developers and business parties:
“How to objectively measure the true quality and business value of an AI Agent workflow?”
Traditional measurement methods often stay at the abstract level:
| Traditional Method | Limitations |
|---|---|
| Human rating (1-5 points) | Subjective bias, inconsistency, non-reproducibility |
| Single metric (accuracy/response time) | Missing long context, complex decisions, real-world scenarios |
| Laboratory environment testing | Out of touch with production environment, no real load |
| Discrete test set | Unable to measure generalization ability, uncertainty, resource constraints |
However, real-world AI Agents need to face:
- Depth: multi-level decision-making, long context, multi-task concurrency
- Complexity: uncertainty, incomplete information, resource conflicts
- Ambiguity: Hidden intentions, unexpressed needs
- Accuracy requirements: different models, different parameters, and different scoring standards
- Real-time constraints: delay-sensitive, resource-limited, concurrent interaction
This article will provide a complete AI Agent workflow benchmark implementation framework, from design, implementation to measurement, covering:
- Evaluation Design: How to Design a Measurable Benchmarking Framework
- Benchmark Construction: Real Scenarios and Reproducibility
- Performance indicators: Quantitative methods of latency, cost, and error-rate
- Business Value: ROI Measurement and Business Value Proof
1. Evaluation design framework: from abstract to measurable
1.1 Three-tier evaluation architecture
First layer: Functionality Layer
Core indicators:
| Indicators | Measurement methods | Production threshold |
|---|---|---|
| Error Rate | Calculation failed tasks / total number of tasks | ≤ 5% |
| Response Time (Response Time) | P50/P90/P99 delay (milliseconds) | P99 ≤ 10 seconds |
| Success Rate | Successful tasks / Total number of tasks | ≥ 95% |
Implementation example:
# 範例:Agent 工作流程錯誤率監控
class AgentWorkflowMonitor:
def __init__(self):
self.total_tasks = 0
self.successful_tasks = 0
self.error_types = defaultdict(int)
def record_task(self, task_id, success, duration_ms, error_type=None):
self.total_tasks += 1
if success:
self.successful_tasks += 1
if error_type:
self.error_types[error_type] += 1
@property
def error_rate(self):
return (self.total_tasks - self.successful_tasks) / self.total_tasks * 100
@property
def success_rate(self):
return self.successful_tasks / self.total_tasks * 100
# 生產環境使用
monitor = AgentWorkflowMonitor()
# 每個 Agent 工作流程調用
monitor.record_task(task_id, success=True, duration_ms=2500)
monitor.record_task(task_id, success=False, duration_ms=8000, error_type="timeout")
Second layer: Quality Layer
Core indicators:
| Indicators | Measurement Method | Scoring Threshold |
|---|---|---|
| Task Completion | Task completion stage / total number of stages | ≥ 90% |
| Context Understanding | Correct parsing / Total parsing | ≥ 85% |
| Error Recovery Rate | Recovery success / total errors | ≥ 80% |
Implementation example:
# 範例:Agent 工作流程階段追蹤
class AgentWorkflowStageTracker:
def __init__(self):
self.current_stage = "init"
self.stage_history = []
def transition_to(self, next_stage):
"""記錄階段轉換"""
transition_record = {
"from": self.current_stage,
"to": next_stage,
"timestamp": time.time(),
"duration_ms": self._calculate_duration()
}
self.stage_history.append(transition_record)
self.current_stage = next_stage
def calculate_completion(self):
"""計算工作流程完成度"""
if not self.stage_history:
return 0.0
# 定義關鍵階段
key_stages = ["init", "planning", "tool_use", "reasoning", "completion"]
completed_stages = set()
for record in self.stage_history:
stage = record["to"]
if stage in key_stages:
completed_stages.add(stage)
return len(completed_stages) / len(key_stages) * 100
# 使用範例
tracker = AgentWorkflowStageTracker()
tracker.transition_to("planning")
tracker.transition_to("tool_use")
tracker.transition_to("reasoning")
tracker.transition_to("completion")
print(f"Workfow completion: {tracker.calculate_completion()}%")
The third layer: Business Layer
Core indicators:
| Indicators | Measurement Method | Business Threshold |
|---|---|---|
| Task Completion Time | P50/P90/P99 delay (seconds) | P90 ≤ 30 seconds |
| Cost-Benefit Ratio | Value / Cost | ≥ 3.0 |
| User Satisfaction (User Satisfaction) | NPS / CSAT | NPS ≥ 30 |
Implementation example:
# 範例:業務價值測量
class BusinessValueTracker:
def __init__(self):
self.total_cost = 0.0 # 總成本(美元)
self.total_revenue = 0.0 # 總收入(美元)
self.user_satisfaction = [] # 用戶滿意度評分
def record_task(self, task_id, cost_usd, revenue_usd, satisfaction_score=None):
"""記錄一個任務的業務影響"""
self.total_cost += cost_usd
self.total_revenue += revenue_usd
if satisfaction_score is not None:
self.user_satisfaction.append(satisfaction_score)
@property
def cost_benefit_ratio(self):
if self.total_cost == 0:
return float('inf')
return self.total_revenue / self.total_cost
@property
def average_satisfaction(self):
if not self.user_satisfaction:
return 0.0
return sum(self.user_satisfaction) / len(self.user_satisfaction)
# 使用範例
tracker = BusinessValueTracker()
tracker.record_task(task_id="task_001", cost_usd=0.50, revenue_usd=5.00, satisfaction_score=4.5)
tracker.record_task(task_id="task_002", cost_usd=0.30, revenue_usd=3.00, satisfaction_score=4.0)
print(f"Cost-Benefit Ratio: {tracker.cost_benefit_ratio:.2f}")
print(f"Avg Satisfaction: {tracker.average_satisfaction:.1f}/5.0")
2. Benchmark test construction: from laboratory to production
2.1 Real-World Test Cases
Test set design principles:
- Cover real business scenarios: Don’t just test ideal situations
- Includes uncertainty: simulates incomplete information, resource conflicts
- Real load simulation: concurrent requests, delay, error handling
Implementation example:
# 範例:真實場景測試集
class RealWorldTestSuite:
"""真實場景測試集:涵蓋生產環境的複雜情況"""
def __init__(self):
self.test_cases = []
self.results = []
def add_test_case(self, test_case):
"""添加一個測試用例"""
self.test_cases.append(test_case)
def generate_test_scenarios(self):
"""生成多種真實場景"""
scenarios = []
# 場景 1:並發請求 + 網絡延遲
scenarios.append({
"name": "concurrent_requests_with_latency",
"description": "模擬並發請求與網絡延遲",
"parameters": {
"num_requests": 10,
"latency_ms": 2000,
"concurrency": 5
}
})
# 場景 2:不完整信息 + 資源衝突
scenarios.append({
"name": "incomplete_info_resource_conflict",
"description": "模擬不完整信息與資源衝突",
"parameters": {
"incomplete_info_ratio": 0.3,
"resource_conflict": True
}
})
# 場景 3:錯誤恢復 + 重試
scenarios.append({
"name": "error_recovery_retry",
"description": "模擬錯誤發生與自動恢復",
"parameters": {
"error_probability": 0.15,
"max_retries": 3
}
})
return scenarios
# 使用範例
suite = RealWorldTestSuite()
for scenario in suite.generate_test_scenarios():
suite.add_test_case(scenario)
print(f"Generated {len(suite.test_cases)} test cases for real-world scenarios")
2.2 Reproducibility and persistence
Key Requirements for Measurement Benchmarks:
- Fixed Seed: Ensure consistent measurement results every time
- Fixed input: avoid random effects
- Fixed environment: CPU, memory, network conditions
Implementation example:
# 範例:可重現的基準測量
import random
import numpy as np
class ReproducibleBenchmark:
"""可重現的基準測量"""
def __init__(self, seed=None):
self.seed = seed if seed is not None else 42
self.random_state = random.Random(self.seed)
def set_seed(self):
"""設置可重現種子"""
random.seed(self.seed)
np.random.seed(self.seed)
def run_benchmark(self, test_function):
"""運行基準測試"""
self.set_seed()
results = test_function(self.random_state)
return results
# 使用範例
benchmark = ReproducibleBenchmark(seed=42)
def benchmark_agent_workflow(random_state):
"""模擬 Agent 工作流程基準測試"""
random_state.seed(42)
# 模擬工作流程
num_tasks = random_state.randint(100, 1000)
success_rate = random_state.uniform(0.90, 0.99)
avg_latency_ms = random_state.uniform(1000, 5000)
return {
"num_tasks": num_tasks,
"success_rate": success_rate,
"avg_latency_ms": avg_latency_ms
}
results = benchmark.run_benchmark(benchmark_agent_workflow)
print(f"Benchmark results: {results}")

report = tracker.generate_report()
print(f"Total Cost: ${report['total_cost_usd']:.2f}")
print(f"Cost per Task: ${report['cost_per_task_usd']:.4f}")
