Impact score: 80
The seat price is not the whole budget for agent-heavy teams. Start Cost mode as the baseline, then enable higher modes for a controlled group only after their output lift justifies routed-model spend.

Impact score: 80
Windsurf is now more credible for teams that want to operate local Cascade work and cloud Devin sessions from one IDE surface. It still belongs behind Copilot for broad governed rollout and behind Cursor for the lower-risk premium workspace default, but it is stronger for a deliberate premium-agentic-editor strategy.
