In one line

Per task-hour of autonomous penetration testing. Task-hours accumulate across parallel work.

What gets missed

Task-hours are cumulative, not wall clock: a pen test that finishes in four hours can bill twenty-four task-hours because the agent works in parallel. Threat modeling and code review are free only while in preview.
