Why Elements

Stop paying to rediscover your own Org.

Working out how your Org fits together costs nine hours for every hour of building, and $790 in tokens the moment you ask an AI to be thorough about it.

Elements makes it one lookup. Nine hours become one, and around a thousand times fewer tokens.

What one question about your Org actually costs.

Ask what breaks if you delete one field. There are three ways an agent can answer that, and you pay for all three very differently.

Read everything
about $790
~158 million tokens
Told to be certain, the agent reads the whole automation corpus: all 1,932 components, 851 Apex classes, 1,002 Flows and 79 triggers. Certain, ruinous, and it starts again on the next question.
Grep first, then read
about $49
~9.8 million tokens
A well-built agent searches for the field name, then reads only the files that mention it. Sixteen times cheaper, and still guessing at anything the search string did not catch.
With Elements
about 5 cents
7,214 tokens
Ask the graph instead. The dependencies were resolved when the metadata was parsed, so there is nothing to read. Same Org, same question, 25 dependents returned.

cheaper than the best an agent can do on its own. Grep-first is not a straw man, it is what a good agent already does, and Elements still answers for a thousandth of the cost.

16,000x

cheaper than an agent told to be thorough. When correctness matters more than budget, an agent reads everything, because reading is the only way it can be sure.

Measured on one Salesforce Org of 1,932 automation components, managed packages excluded, priced at Opus 5 list rates on 28 August 2026. Multiples are cost ratios against the graph lookup.

Nine hours of finding out, for every hour of building.

Most of a Salesforce delivery cycle is not delivery. It is discovery: working out what a change touches, who it affects and what will break, before anyone writes anything.

For every hour of active development, a Business Analyst spends around nine hours auditing dependencies and scoping impact by hand. Roughly 40% of the cycle, and none of it is what the business asked for.

Why finding out is so expensive.

Three reasons, and none of them get better on their own.

Nothing remembers

Every question starts from scratch. The tracing someone did last month lives in their head, or a spreadsheet nobody can find, so the next person does it again.

Reading is no longer free

An AI answers by reading, and it re-reads the conversation on every turn. Answering one question can bill 27 times the size of what it read.

The price is going up

AI billing is shifting from flat seats to what you actually use, and usage per developer is climbing fast. Waiting for it to get cheaper is not a plan.

What that gives you back.

Eight hours returned on every story, and a delivery cycle that stops getting slower each quarter.

8 hrs
Back on every story, redirected from auditing metadata to designing the change.
600 hrs
Recovered per 100 stories, which is most of a quarter for a delivery team.
7,200 hrs
A year, or roughly three and a half Business Analysts handed back their actual job.

It also stops two things getting worse. Delivery slows 15 to 20% a cycle as complexity compounds, and around 10% of stories break mid-sprint on something the scoping missed. Both are discovery problems wearing a delivery costume.
