Model: for each month, users grow compounding. Sonic users = users × adoption%. Each Sonic user generates sessions/month per their activity bucket. Session audio = session_len × (user-speech% + agent-speech%), split chatty vs typical. Tokens = minutes × 60 × tokens/sec. Text cost covers system prompt, tool schemas, and recipe context per session.

Defaults sourced from: AWS Bedrock Nova Sonic public pricing; audio token rate from AWS docs (~80–90 tok/s each direction); session length from ChefConnect activeContext (typical recipe 25–35 min). Tune freely.

Caveat: Bedrock bills tokens not minutes; the "per-minute" display is derived. Real traffic varies ±30% from these curves. Validate with a 2-week CloudWatch sample before committing to a forecast.
