# Autonomous Engineering Economics & Capacity Intelligence

Webdev Agent OS v36 connects technical evidence to responsible resource allocation.

## Evidence chain

Capacity and skills → initiative value, risk, confidence, and dependencies → cost of delay and debt interest → build-versus-buy and opportunity-cost analysis → budget scenarios and portfolio sequencing → independent investment decision → measured outcome.

## Core guarantees

- Capacity claims include supply, commitments, reserve, and confidence evidence.
- Cost-of-delay models separate revenue, reliability, customer, and opportunity impact.
- Technical and reliability debt is quantified as recurring engineering interest.
- Initiative priority remains explainable through value, confidence, risk, urgency, and strategic alignment.
- Build-versus-buy decisions preserve option assumptions and exit risk.
- Portfolio sequences remain dependency, capacity, and budget aware.
- Investment authors cannot approve their own initiatives or scenarios.
- Outcome evidence is measured after investment; approved work is not automatically treated as valuable.
