I wasn't so serious about it and before i realized it became bigger (and may be incoherent-er). Anyways, before this one goes off the hook, i am signing off :-) I just realized my comment is bigger than the post :-) .

Thinking further on your equation, there will be people who can exhibit -ve constant for some value of t and some quantity of work for given t.

So, going into details, let me rephrase the parts of the equation to suit my comment.

Quality (QLY) * Quantity (QTY) = Constant (V)

Quantity = work expected in a given time t
Constant = Total amount of value produced by a person in given time t

The situation becomes a little difficult when V goes negative!

For some folks, in a given situation the V may be negative. That is the amount of value added to system is less than the damage done to it.

But then, if the expected amount of work (QTY) for a given time t is less for them, the constant may become positive.

=> V is a function of t and QTY. so, it becomes;

V = F(t, QTY)

so QTY actually might bring V down. V INV proportional to QTY (or QTY squared or something similar)

I would recommend a more complex model to handle this but at this point I think I am lost, so I would leave it to mathematcians like Abhinav (he sounds like one from his blogs) to come up with a model to fit ;-) . Hows that for delegation!

Thats every bit as important as the other parameters in the equation. Ah! Thats every bit as important as the other parameters in the equation.
