The economics
What a ruling costs, where the money goes, and why packing and routing matter.
A ruling's cost is mostly model calls and, at L2, proofs. Every figure on the economics page is labeled: vendor-reported speeds and prices, modeled costs from packages/economics, or illustrative assumptions.
Headline numbers (modeled, H100 at $4.00 an hour): - Unpacked: five jurors each proving: $0.1043 a decision. - Packed: atomized, packed, proven once: $0.0059. - With a fast screen, at assumed settle rates: $0.0039.
Once proofs are packed, the fidelity checks cost more than the proofs, which is where the next savings are.
