Film budgeting is organised by above/below the line and shoot days; generative work spends compute credits and iteration counts instead. How should cost per usable second, retry rates and review capacity be modelled and scheduled against a delivery date?

Why this is still open: The budgeting and scheduling sources read describe live-action conventions only; no source read models generation retries or credit spend.
