Your hourly rate is the one number you control that turns ATTRIBUT's model of the expert time your AI saved you into a dollar value. Set it in Preferences → Value pricing, or during onboarding. It defaults to $100/hr and can be set to any amount.

For every session, ATTRIBUT's model scores three things automatically: how many expert-hours the work represents, what type of work it was, and an outcome multiplier for how well the work landed. None of those are things you set. The one input you do control is the hourly rate — the dollar value assigned to each of those expert-hours. ATTRIBUT combines them with a simple formula:

Value = expert-hours × outcome multiplier × your hourly rate

Because the expert-hours and outcome multiplier are stored per session but the dollar value is calculated fresh each time you view it, changing your hourly rate re-prices every session's value across your dashboard the next time you load it — not just work you do going forward.

You'll set an initial rate once, during onboarding, on the step titled “What’s your time worth?” It has a numeric input and a slider running from $0 to $400, and a note reminding you it's your one lever and you can change it anytime.

After that, change it whenever you like from Preferences → Value pricing. The panel shows a labelled “Hourly rate” row with a $ input (USD, $0–$400 range) and a matching slider underneath. A badge next to the section title reads “Default” while the rate sits at $100, and switches to “Custom” as soon as you move it. A “reset” link appears next to the input whenever you're off the default, which snaps the rate straight back to $100. Any change you make is a draft until you press Save preferences on the floating save bar that appears at the bottom of the page — you can also press Discard to revert to your last saved rate.

Underneath the rate control, the Value pricing panel shows a “Worked example — priced live” strip. It prices one sample judged session using whatever rate you currently have set (saved or not), and recalculates instantly as you type a new number or drag the slider — so you can see the effect of a rate change before you save it.

The sample session is a “Repair” work type worth 2.4 expert-hours, with a 1.15× outcome multiplier, that cost about $15 in AI spend. At the default $100/hr rate, it prices out like this:

The strip also shows “leverage” — that priced value divided by the session's actual AI spend. At $100/hr on about $15 of spend, this sample session shows about 18× leverage. Raise the rate and both the value and the leverage multiplier climb; lower it and they fall. That's the whole point of the strip: it makes the effect of your rate concrete on one real example, before it's applied to everything else in your account.
