Fixed Budget should be utilized when specified in the Ticket. Not Default Budget

[SilasReinagel]

When a ticket has a non-default fixed budget, that should be used instead of the Default Budget.

Default Budget should ONLY be used when Fixed Budget has not been specified.

§4 “Fixed Budget.” Each job has a fixed budget in minutes, which will be multiplied by your hourly rate and paid to you when the job is completed. The actual amount of time you spend on the job doesn’t affect the amount of money you receive. You will also get as many positive points as many minutes you are paid for.

§5 “Boost Factor.” A job may receive a boost factor, which will increase or decrease its budget. Default boost factor is 2x, which means 30 minutes. Default boost factor for a code review is 1x. In exceptional situations, you should ask project architect to boost your job.

Example: When 0pdd sets the number of minutes for a puzzle, 0crat should use that amount as the Fixed Budget amount.

Example: When the PO or ARC manually specify a number of minutes in the comments, that amount should be used as the Fixed Budget.
