I’d consider how much the benefits outweigh the costs, and whether the tool adds or improves capabilities.

For example: We recently passed on implementing a new market automation platform. While it added new capability with its many features, the cost to purchase, implement and maintain wasn’t worth it.

We are in the process of implementing a chatbot for our local government site with intentions to deploy for internal use only for testing.  We are having problems quantifying is the cost around token consumption.  I know that cost varies depending on the model used, but does anyone have any useful estimators.  Consumption calculators I have found don't seem particularly useful.  What methods for estimating cost did you use?  Did you use number of searches against the site?
