1. Use a prompt benchmark
Cover people, products, landscapes, camera movement and difficult interactions. Ten diverse prompts reveal more than repeated variations of one scene.
CORE FORMULAEffective cost = attempt cost ÷ acceptance rate
2. Score instruction adherence
Separate visual appeal from whether the model followed subject, action, camera and timing instructions.
3. Normalize the bill
Compare the same duration, resolution and audio setting, then add observed retries to calculate effective cost.

How many prompts are enough?
Start with ten representative prompts and repeat each at least three times.
Should seed settings be fixed?
Fix them when supported for diagnosis, then test normal variation separately.
