HarnessRouter: '99.8% lower cost'

OUR VERDICT

Partly fact

Our original verdict: “Reads like a promo; the cost headline isn't shown.”

THE CLAIM

“A demo of HarnessRouter handing a data job to two specialist agents, with a '99.8% lower cost' headline.”

What’s actually true

  • The demo shows a 'Data Analyst' and a 'Dashboard Engineer' agent turning a support-ticket spreadsheet into a working dashboard.
  • It reads like a promo with no sponsorship disclosure, the run looks idealised, and the '99.8% lower cost' figure isn't shown anywhere; it's the company's own claim.
