Value created $60,000.00. Value fee $9,000.00. Floor fee 60 × $90.00 = $5,400.00. Quote is the larger one. Client multiple $60,000.00 ÷ $9,000.00 = 6.67×.
Value created = client value × attribution. Value fee = value created × capture share. Floor fee = hours × hourly floor. Quote = the larger of the value fee and the floor fee. Effective hourly = quote ÷ hours. Client multiple = value created ÷ quote. Every fraction is a number you type.

A fee taken as a share of value you attribute to the client, then checked against hours times your hourly floor. The quote is the larger of those two.
From discovery, and only from a number you can measure. This page does not invent a client-value figure.
You type the attribution and the capture shares. The card shows the client multiple (value created divided by the quote) instead of a share rule.
The quote is the larger of the value fee and hours times the hourly floor.
The fixed-vs-hourly card compares a flat fee with an hourly floor. This card starts from client value.
