"Value" here is a computed ratio and nothing more: the model's Elo on the Versely leaderboard it ranks best on, divided by the credits its cheapest complete generation costs. 20 video generators have both numbers.
Because Versely ranks each capability on its own leaderboard, the Elo in the numerator is a within-category score. Treat the ordering as a budget heuristic, not as a claim that one model is N times better than another.
