During Indexer Office Hours #3 (replay [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTbTNsJA58Y&feature=youtu.be)) @dancube brought up some questions about cost modelling and specifically the use of Agora. It would be great if we could have a Cost Modelling Workshop with the creator of Agora, @That3Percent, to get everyone up to speed on where Agora is in terms of features today, and how to use it including: - Collection of query data using QLog (maybe @lutter would run through this as the creator of QLog?) - Processing data so it’s ready for Agora - Basic cost models with one limited example (something basic like floating a price on an exchange rate?) - Running query data through Agora , understanding the results and iterating upon them The overall objectives of this workshop would be for participants to come out of the session with the knowledge to: - Collect their own data using Qlog - Sanitise logs for Agora - Understand a basic cost model - Run models using Agora and return useful results - Iterate on the results that Agora provides ---

I’ve been head down focused on migrating subgraphs to mainnet, and [Scalar](https://thegraph.com/blog/scalar) in particular. ---
