# Baseline Investment ROI
|
||
|
||
**Investment in strong baseline vs time saved**
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## ROI Formula
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
ROI = time_saved / baseline_investment
|
||
|
||
Where:
|
||
- time_saved = (standard_iterations - actual_iterations) × avg_iteration_time
|
||
- baseline_investment = (iteration_0_time - minimal_baseline_time)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Examples
|
||
|
||
### Bootstrap-003 (High ROI)
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
Baseline investment: 120 min (vs 60 min minimal) = +60 min
|
||
Iterations saved: 6 - 3 = 3 iterations
|
||
Time per iteration: ~3 hours
|
||
Time saved: 3 × 3h = 9 hours = 540 min
|
||
|
||
ROI = 540 min / 60 min = 9x
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Bootstrap-002 (Low Investment)
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
Baseline investment: 60 min (minimal)
|
||
Result: 6 iterations (standard)
|
||
No time saved (baseline approach)
|
||
ROI = 0x (but no risk either)
|
||
```

## Investment Levels
|
||
|
||
| Investment | V_meta(s₀) | Iterations | Time Saved | ROI |
|
||
|------------|------------|------------|------------|-----|
|
||
| 8-10h | 0.70-0.80 | 3 | 15-20h | 2-3x |
|
||
| 6-8h | 0.50-0.70 | 3-4 | 12-18h | 2-3x |
|
||
| 4-6h | 0.40-0.50 | 4-5 | 8-12h | 2-2.5x |
|
||
| 2-4h | 0.20-0.40 | 5-7 | 0-4h | 0-1x |
|
||
| <2h | <0.20 | 7-10 | N/A | N/A |
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
**Recommendation**: Invest 4-6 hours for V_meta(s₀) = 0.40-0.50 (2-3x ROI).
