OpenClaw Tally

Reframes AI usage from token-counting to task-completion economics. Instead of "how many tokens?", answer "how much to get X done, and was it worth it?"

• Attributes costs across sessions, sub-agents, and cron triggers (Layer 2: Task Ledger)
• Computes TES (Task Efficiency Score) per task, model, and cron (Layer 3: Analytics Engine)
