Pareto explains the curve, but the monetary rewards are linear to where you are on that curve. Perhaps a small example will clarify. Pareto Curve (more or less) of Y values on index X: [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,3,10,50,500,7000,9000000] Index 30 is "off the chart" Now revenue: $$*index The correlation is linear (basically).
