Kindo is currently downstream of Swimlane, invoked as the triage agent after Swimlane has performed intake, normalization, deduplication, and correlation. Turbo Mode moves Kindo upstream to the point of entry, with 100% of client alert volume flowing through it. That is a change of position in the chain, with volume attached.
Mechanism
The deterministic layer reduces token spend per alert — this is precisely Zun's stated concern (July 27): "we do not want everything to be token-based; some very easy things, if API can do it, why do we need to burn tokens?" Unit price falls. But volume rises substantially because Kindo now processes 100% of alerts, not just the subset that Swimlane forwards to the triage agent. The net effect — lower unit cost × higher volume — may be the most commercially valuable element of the entire replacement. Nothing in the material to date has treated it as such.
Magnitude
GAP — VOLUME FIGURES NOT DOCUMENTED
Alert volume, concurrent execution count, and peak load were not provided in the July 27 Discovery session (Zun said the load "can be very very high"). These figures are required to model the net consumption effect. Without them: if the deterministic layer reduces per-alert token cost by X% and total alert volume is Y× what Kindo currently processes, the net consumption change is calculable — but X and Y are both unknown.
GAP — CURRENT KINDO CONSUMPTION BASELINE NOT DOCUMENTED
What Deloitte currently pays Kindo in consumption/utilization fees for the triage agent is also required to calculate the delta.
How Charged
Consumption-based pricing (tokens, agent runs, or alert volume). The deterministic layer should be priced differently from the agentic layer — deterministic processing is cheaper to run and should be priced to encourage migration from Swimlane, not penalize volume. A blended rate or tiered model may apply.
Decision Owner
Tony (pricing structure) + Charlie (capacity/cost modeling) + Kush/Krishna (volume commitment).
What Must Be True
- Turbo Mode must handle Deloitte's alert volume at scale — 80% of their clients currently route through Swimlane
- The per-alert cost in deterministic mode must be materially lower than current agentic processing — otherwise volume expansion is a cost center, not revenue
- Alert volume, peak load, and current consumption baseline must be retrieved from Deloitte to model the net effect
- Pricing model for deterministic vs. agentic processing must be defined
Two-directional model required. The honest analysis must account for both directions: consumption may increase (more volume through Kindo) or the unit economics may flip (deterministic processing is so cheap it reduces total spend). The net effect must be calculated with real figures, not assumed as positive. Retrieve volume and cost data from Deloitte before presenting this mechanism.
