The workflow was cache-dominant, suggesting that persistent agentic environments may shift the economic unit from cost per token to cost per completed artifact.
Observed high cache-read fraction (82.9% in May subset) and interpretation by authors that caching dominates token usage, leading to the suggestion about economic-unit shifts.

Depending on operational parameters, the most time-efficient way to complete a workflow may undergo a transition between two task-processing regimes: a fully AI-assisted regime and a fully manual regime.
Analytical results derived from the paper's formal queueing model (theoretical/model-based derivation; no empirical sample reported).
AI assistance can generate a deceptive productivity signature: average completion times fall because AI tools typically supply a fast first draft, yet workflow-level performance can deteriorate when a subset of AI errors escapes review and returns as costly downstream rework.
Analytical derivation and discussion based on the paper's queueing model (theoretical/model-based evidence; no empirical sample provided).
Public data from Anthropic's Mythos Preview and Mozilla Firefox collaborations, along with public exploit-market price anchors and vulnerability reward programs, support the argument that the near-term shift is toward increased defender remediation throughput rather than simply more zero-days.

The near-term shift is not simply more zero-days; it is a move toward broader defender remediation throughput: low-signal candidates become cheaper, evidence-rich remediation become more important, and scarce capacity shifts toward maintainer review and release work.
Synthesis drawing on public data from Anthropic Mythos Preview, Mozilla Firefox collaborations, public exploit-market price anchors, and vulnerability reward program information (no numeric sample sizes provided in the abstract).

Exploits and proofs of concept remain important, but in defender workflows they primarily prove impact, guide prioritization, and justify remediation rather than serving the same role they did in high-end offensive workflows.
