SDAS L3.1: Evaluating API Usage Alternatives

The economic analysis that produced the hybrid two-tier system - 'Consultant Killer' mode for high-value parallel execution and 'Daily Driver' mode for routine sequential work, with a decision framework that determines which mode to use based on project value and time savings

The SDAS API usage evaluation - comparing Claude Max sequential execution against API-based parallel processing, developing the hybrid two-tier system (Tier 1 'Consultant Killer' for projects worth $5K+ using parallel API execution, Tier 2 'Daily Driver' for routine work using subscription limits), the five-phase implementation roadmap from validation through autonomous operation, and the economic framework that makes 50-100 projects annually viable where 3-5 were previously possible.
