  • This house would fire Checo

    Infoslide

    You are the team principal of the Red Bull Formula 1 (F1) team. You have won several championships and currently employ the reigning multi-world champion, Max Verstappen. The second driver that you employ, Sergio ""Checo"" Perez, is sponsored by big name corporations, such as: Disney, Telcel, Mobil, Claro, Nescafe, and Kitkat. The money that Checo's sponsors bring to the team allow you to afford employing Max. However, in the current 2024 F1 Season, Checo has been underperforming and has costed millions of money for car repairs. This has led to Red Bull getting closer to F1's cost cap. As a consequence, Red Bull is limited in implementing upgrades on the car and is vulnerable to falling behind other competitors who can afford to spend on upgrades throughout the remainder of the season. In response, different managerial and rank-and-file employees in the team have tried to push you to fire Checo, and replace him with a more promising younger driver. However, the sponsors who have backed Checo, have threatened to pull out their funding for Red Bull if Checo was fired. Despite the rest of the team’s frustration, Max has worked well with Checo for the past 3 seasons together.

  • This house prefers a user-centric model of compensation as opposed to a pro-rata model of compensation within music streaming services

    Infoslide

    A pro-rata model of compensation divides the total pool of revenue the platform earns to artists and their respective companies on the basis of their share of all listeners’ plays. Under this model, even if you personally do not listen to popular artists, your money is still going to them. A user-centric model of compensation detects what genres and types of artists a specific user listens to, and distributes money generated from them based only on this. this means that money from a person who listens predominantly to hiphop will go towards hiphop artists, and not necessarily to the most popular artists with the largest share of streams at the moment.
