How to Read the Value Score

Value Score = Benchmark Score ÷ Project Cost × 100. A higher score means more performance per dollar. Models are grouped into Budget (<$2), Mid ($2-$5), and Premium (>$5) tiers for a medium-sized project. "Worth Upgrade?" shows whether paying more for the next tier up gives meaningful performance gains — green means yes, orange means the jump isn't cost-effective.
