Regarding the peak PD earnings, there are two considerations:

1. With maximum accuracy (99.0%) netting 99,000ISK per submission and a maximum submission rate of 5 samples per minute, you net 99,000 ISK/sample \* 5 samples / minutes \* 60 minutes / hour = 29.7m/hr
2. The researchers do not benefits from tight bounds, what they benefit from is:
  - Knowing the quantity of cells
  - Knowing the segmentation between the cells

For details on the second point, see this post: [Proposal for a better Project Discovery UI - #4 by Archer\_en\_Tilavine](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/proposal-for-a-better-project-discovery-ui/251404/4). I very rapidly hit the 5 samples/minute barrier because most of my submissions - even on “graded samples” that I always pass, are usually rectangles or triangles, so I have to frequently close and re-open PD in order to resume once the threshold has cooled down a bit.

I do have some thoughts on these other points you’ve raised, but they are outside of the scope of this thread. I don’t want to accidentally derail the thread so I will not raise my ideas here.
