In the Red

You got faster — maybe with AI — and your pay didn't move, or fell. That isn't a verdict on your worth. It's that your pay has been anchored to your hours, and the hours got shorter. The outcome you delivered didn't shrink; only the hours did.

Move the anchor from your hours to the outcome, and the same skill that shrank your invoice starts paying you instead. This is an interactive — turn on JavaScript to operate it with your own numbers. It reaches no conclusion for you; a low price can be the right call.
