Run scenarios in the workspace; this fills in from the same ledger. Scenario C shows a $1.75 cost with $0 revenue.
price = (expected cost ÷ verified share) ÷ (1 − target margin). Cheap : strong pass split fixed at 5 : 3.
Expected cost / task

Break-even price

Formula price (50 % margin)

| Outcome | Share | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Cheap model passes | 50.0 % | $0.28 |
| Stronger model passes | 30.0 % | $1.11 |
| Fails after cap | 20.0 % | $1.84 |
cheap pass 0.28 = 0.15 + 0.03 + 0.10 · strong pass 1.11 = 0.15 + 0.80 + 2×0.03 + 0.10 · fail 1.84 = 0.15 + 2×0.80 + 3×0.03 (strong cost follows the slider).

Note: these are the formula's numbers with the 5 : 3 split held. The brief's prose (1.15 and about 9 %) used a different split (30 / 30 / 40). Even at double the failures the price stays above break-even.
