Algorithm Steps

Step 1
Health Burden

H_eq = 30 + 1.25 × 0.5 = 30.63

HealthScore = min(100, 20 × log₁₀(1 + 100 × 30.63)) = 69.72

Step 2
Risk Score

Risk = 0.70 × 69.72 + 0.20 × (2 × 10) + 0.10 × (1 × 10) = 53.81

Step 3
Fun Score

FlowAdj = ((8 − 1) / 9) × 100 = 77.78

Fun = 0.45 × (4.5 × 20) + 0.25 × 77.78 + 0.20 × (8 × 10) + 0.10 × (7 × 10) = 82.94

Step 4
Outputs

WorthIt = clamp(50 + 0.5 × (82.9453.81), 0, 100) = 64.57

FRR = (82.94 + 15) / (53.81 + 15) = 1.42
