    Competitive Advantage: 4

Fair compensations may lead to higher engagement, better work quality, and higher contributor retention.
    • Deliverable value points are an input metric referencing the value of a deliverable based on the required skill type and skill level, anticipated effort, the fair market rate, and a factor allowing to adjust for elements such as priority and attractiveness of a deliverable.
    • By reducing biases and opinions, Proof of Value creates an evolving, scalable way to automate task-based compensation and ensures fair rewards based on contribution.
    • What makes the project different is the economic model uniting labor and capital around a cooperative model for the future of work. Blackbox is powered and funded by client revenues, partnerships, and believers to ensure the model works in the real world.

These modules feature battle-hardened methodologies, AI services, and lightweight components designed to give any collective, agency, or group instant wins.
