From Cost Centre to Value Converter: Anti-Value Conversion in Technical Support
Technical support is usually managed as a cost centre, which hides the value it creates for clients and the product. This paper restates the Æilus model of support as a chain of transformers that convert anti-value into value, gives the source's two coefficients (VAM and ACM) minimal formulas, fixes whose value they measure, and proposes a measurement protocol a support organisation could adopt.
