BioCost

Coming soon

trace.tsv → cost report → nextflow.config patch

BioCost is coming soon as a cost and runtime analyzer for computational workflow traces. It will produce process-level breakdowns, ranked recommendations, and deterministic patch artifacts you can review before applying.

Built for platform teams who need to explain spend, prioritize optimizations, and keep a reproducible software artifact trail without mutating live pipelines.

Planned BioCost runs will operate against workflow artifact directories and emit deterministic outputs.

Evidence
Every analysis produces deterministic artifacts you can inspect, version, and verify.
Analysis depth
Cost + runtime + retries
Process-level
Every process is scored, not just the total bill.
Output artifacts
Report + summary + patch
5 files
HTML report, JSON summary, recommendations, patch, and receipt.
Patch safety
By default
Read-only
BioCost never mutates your pipeline unless you apply the patch.
Determinism
Canonical JSON hashing
Verified
Receipt.json contains hashes so outputs are auditable.

Built for teams that require proof

BioCost is being built to turn noisy trace files into reviewable artifacts. Every recommendation will include a confidence score, estimated savings, and a rationale you can share with finance or procurement.

Cost visibility
  • Ingest Nextflow trace files and normalize spend across processes, retries, and cached tasks.
  • See which processes dominate runtime and cost, not just the final invoice.
Deterministic reports
  • Canonical JSON outputs with stable ordering and verifiable hashes.
  • Receipt.json records the exact ingest policy, tool version, and input hashes.
Safe patching
  • Recommendations include an estimated savings range and confidence score.
  • patch_nextflow emits a diff file you can review in version control before applying.

We are collecting early workflow shapes and trace formats so BioCost launches with useful deterministic artifacts.

Part of the Omnis platform

BioCost will fit into the same deterministic rail as Omnis LocusTrace, Omnis Helix, and BioAudit. Cost visibility is just another verifiable software artifact.

Use cases

Built for teams who need cost clarity before scaling pipelines or quoting clients.

Developer corner

BioCost is planned as a local-first analyzer. The preview contract is trace in, canonical report out, with hashes and replayable patch artifacts.

Planned local CLI
$ costopt ingest ./artifacts /tmp/run-001
$ costopt analyze /tmp/run-001
$ costopt report /tmp/run-001
$ costopt patch_nextflow /tmp/run-001 nextflow.config
$ costopt verify /tmp/run-001
Outputs report.html, run_summary.json, recommendations.json, nextflow_config_patch.txt, and receipt.json.
