Pay per accepted episode, and budget for re-collection
Robot data vendors price per accepted episode (Particula) or per usable demonstration net of a 20 to 30% discard (Robotics Center), and Robotics Center warns that re-collection after the first policy evaluation adds 30 to 50% of the original budget. Quotes below $15 an hour usually exclude rejection and replacement.
