THREE MODELS · INPUTS FROM YOUR GAME

Calculate the move before spending production.

Civilization VII has no universal value for one turn. The models therefore use production-equivalent utility: you decide what Gold, Science, Culture or Happiness is worth for the current objective.

Verified mechanic
Victories, Triumphs and GDP categories stay tied to official Update 1.4.1 material.
Your assessment
Cost, benefit, horizon and confidence remain editable inputs.
MODEL 01 · PAYBACK WINDOW

Can the building return its cost?

Translate expected per-turn benefit into a production equivalent. This is your value assessment, not a hidden game formula.

Method and independence

The source sets the boundary. The scenario stays yours.

Official material confirms the structure of the current version. Every numeric value comes from the game interface and stays on the device.
