Price Discovery

Price discovery is the process by which a market establishes the fair price of something through the interaction of actual buyers and sellers.

For AI labor, price discovery has been weak because transactions are private and pricing units differ; a transaction-anchored index supplies the missing reference.

The WorkForce Labor Index acts as price-discovery infrastructure, turning real transactions into a citable market rate per task.
