• HgCapital set a planning framework for AI automation that starts with frontier models to prove workflow quality before cutting cost.
• Domain-specific evaluation suites will be built from day one to measure quality while swapping in cheaper, faster models per workflow step.
• Investment focus shifts to “harness” engineering to route tasks across models, manage context, enforce controls, and embed vertical data.
• Board-level target is cost per completed task at a defined quality bar, with an expectation that the metric trends lower over time.
