Charge for the team on Jan. 25
- Mitigating DOS concern
- Current implementation is risky
- We currently execute the full program before we assure adequate funding.
- Challenge of parallelism
- Idea: Via short-leash proposal
- Current implementation is risky
- Need to document who pays for what
- Figure out how to make the program stop when it runs out of phlogiston
- Figure out how to estimate costs
- Idea: run locally and take an average
- Idea: run on a read-only node and take an average

- Review features.md for cost accounting
