Performance metrics and maximum costs
This idea revolves around two things:
- Measuring various metrics about a company
- Using these metrics to determing a company's overall performance
The idea here is that the higher a company's performance, the higher the upper ceiling on the costs it can command (ie, the more society invests in it).
Also, another aspect of this idea is the ability to communicate to the workers of a company not just the current performance, but what things would need to happen in order to increase performance (ie, "sell more things to the market system without raising wages").
