How to calculate cost per usable generation
Estimate real generation economics by combining attempt cost, acceptance rate, correction work, and the value of outputs that reach delivery.
Six reviewed methods
Use these guides as working sheets for model selection, prompt control, motion continuity, and usable-result economics. Each method states what to hold constant, what can fail, and what to do next.
