How is this calculated?
Va = (Qai × Eai × complexityFactor × skillMultiplier × hourlyWage) - (Cverify + Crisk)
Where Qai = quality multiplier, Eai = efficiency multiplier, Cverify = verification cost, and Crisk = risk cost. Human alone uses baseline wage. AI alone omits skill and complexity factors.
