Compile the capability
Turn the request into features, runtime, deployment, rights, security, price, and operating requirements before an option is ranked.
FunctionFoundry / Agent capability economics
Should the agent build it, integrate it, or buy it?
Agent capability economics
FunctionFoundry estimates the tokens required to build equivalent functionality, then compares that cost with integration and purchase options before an agent writes code.

Before generation begins
Move sourcing upstream into the agent’s plan.
FunctionFoundry gives coding agents a structured economic decision at planning time. Requirements, rights, deployment constraints, build effort, integration work, and operating cost become part of the plan before generation begins.
Decision sequence
One capability. One fair comparison across every path.
Map credible options
Compare build, acquire, integrate, compose, and stop paths against the same hard requirements and acceptance surface.
Estimate equivalent build cost
Estimate the tokens and engineering effort required to build equivalent functionality, then compare integration, review, runtime, and ownership cost.
Return the economic decision
Recommend build, acquire, compose, stop, or evaluate further with the assumptions and next action attached.
Decision interfaces
Built for agents and the operators who govern them.
The same comparison can enter through a guided web flow, a structured REST request, or an MCP tool call and return an evidence-linked, organization-scoped record.
MCP
Let an agent request a capability comparison directly inside its planning loop.
REST
Send a structured capability request and receive requirements, options, estimates, recommendation, and next actions.
Web
Let a human inspect assumptions, rights coverage, sensitivities, and next steps before execution moves forward.
Inspect the current record
