@Azz - I’m putting together a spreadsheet to model the reward as proposed; however, hours needed per issue is a lot easier: add ~1.5 to the number of meetings in a day. Last week that worked out to approx. 3.5+4.5+3.5+2.5; or ~14 hours on the week, which is the current minimum and will only increase. This does not take into account the ~3-months that I spent building context. There is no such thing as an hourly rate, but FT rewards can be found here; reward is based on impact, not effort.
I will link to a spreadsheet within the next few hours so you can play with the numbers to see if it makes sense in your case . . . first getting Tuesday’s issue of The sCoop roughed out! 
I see you’re on day one here in the forums - so I’m especially curious to know your experience with the newsletter as a resource pointing to other resources, if you care to reach out on discord: @mel.eth#0001
