subtraction

What this part means

Subtract the following term or group from the preceding one. A leading minus marks a negative quantity.

Its job in the formula

Subtract the following term or group from the preceding one. A leading minus marks a negative quantity.

The passage around this formula

Let dimensions d include local-platform support, isolation, context fidelity, extensibility, enterprise policy, cloud reproducibility, review ergonomics, latency, and total cost. For organization o , define Soj=∑dwodzjd−λoCj−μoRjS_{oj}=\sum_d w_{od}z_{jd} -\lambda_o C_j-\mu_o R_j. where zjdz_{jd} is measured product performance, wodw_{od} local importance, CjC_j switching and operating cost, and RjR_j residual risk. A startup and a bank should choose different weights. Scores should come from trials, not feature presence alone.
