Estimates are structural projections based on analysis of ungoverned agentic deployment patterns. Conservative (40%) assumes LLM-based verification is the primary waste source. Optimistic (70%) assumes additionally high session re-establishment and drift costs. These are not yet validated against production deployment data.
