Speed Versus Quality Check

Run the Speed Versus Quality Check MicroSim Fullscreen

About This MicroSim

The learner will judge, for each of eight time-saving claims, whether the claim can be reported as stated or must be restated net of rework, using the rule that rework minutes above 25% of the claimed saving require restatement. Evaluate-level work means judging against a criterion. Committing a verdict before the arithmetic appears makes the learner estimate the size of the rework cost, and the boundary item at exactly 25% forces attention to the comparison rule.

This MicroSim belongs to the chapter Productivity Quality Metrics. It uses p5.js with the shared quiz kit in sims/shared-libs/.

How to Use

  1. The learner reads claim 1 with its three inputs and chooses a verdict, then presses Commit.
  2. The sim shows rework minutes per ticket, the share consumed, the net saving, and the "Why" text.
  3. After eight claims, exploration unlocks: the learner changes the three quantities and watches the share consumed and verdict update.
  4. The learner should notice that a small rework-rate rise matters little with a large saving and decides the verdict when the saving is small or each rework is costly.

Lesson Plan

Audience

Professionals and graduate students learning to estimate and defend the cost and return of generative AI.

Duration

10-15 minutes

Bloom's Taxonomy

Evaluate (judge)

Prerequisites

task completion time, rework rate metric, error rate metric, quality score metric, the 25% working rule

Activities

  1. Predict (5-10 min): work through the committed challenges before any answer is revealed.
  2. Explore (5 min): use the sliders unlocked after the last challenge to see how each input changes the result.

Assessment

For each of eight claims the learner commits a verdict, "Report as stated" or "Restate net of rework", before the arithmetic is shown. A verdict is correct when it matches the "Correct verdict" column in Content. Mastery is 7 of 8 correct on the first attempt. Exploration with the adjustable quantities is not evidence.

Common Misconceptions

(1) A time saving is the benefit regardless of quality. (2) A small rise in rework rate is always negligible. (3) Rework only matters when the rework rate itself is high, ignoring how many minutes each rework costs.
