Choose Effort and understand credit use
Control the candidate-research budget while keeping the requested delivery target unchanged.
When to use this
Use higher Effort when Leama should research a larger candidate pool and select the strongest matches for the same target.
Requirements and availability
- The Effort control can be locked by the current plan; a locked control stays at Low.
How to do it
- Open a profile for creation or editing.
- Move Effort between Low, Medium, High, and Max.
- Read the maximum shown beside the selected level.
- Save the profile and start a run with enough available credits.
