Curator Value Function V_curator
Curator Value Function
V_curator · Ch 3(Signal selected ÷ noise available) × context depth. Sell the taste layer, not the generator.
She reads roughly five hundred vendor advisories a week and forwards the four that actually matter to her estate, each with one line on why it matters here.
It came out at 0.06 on this calculator's scale — and that is strong curation, not weak.
Read the direction, not the digit. Triple the advisories to 1,500 and her four picks stay four: the ratio falls, and what she sells — the sifting — becomes more valuable, not less. Drop her context to zero and it collapses to nothing however good the ratio looks, because that's a Top-10 listicle. Sell the taste layer, never the generator.
Yellow. Thin. Deepen the context or select harder.
Heads up: Appendix A bands this at ≥ 5 for green, but the formula divides by the noise — so any realistic amount of sifting scores far below 1, and the appendix's own note that it 'explodes as noise → ∞' points the other way. The light here is scaled to this calculator's inputs, not to the printed benchmark. Read the direction of travel, not the digit.
