The cheapest public evidence of what a vendor charges per task sits in the appendix of the buyer's own paper
No environment vendor publishes a price, and no public procurement notice states a count of environments or tasks, but research labs that commission tasks from a vendor sometimes write the unit cost down. ServiceNow Research's EnterpriseOps-Gym paper states that each of its 1,150 vendor-made enterprise tasks, including scenario design, verification and quality assurance, cost approximately 100 USD with Turing as the data partner. NIST's CAISI award to Tharros Defense (evaluation tasks for frontier-model cyber capabilities) is $813,679.52 obligated and states no count, which is why it cannot be turned into a price per task.
