# kaal:claim:4755632-011

**Claim.** To form consensus and offset worker error, requesters in centralized micro task structures assign teams of up to fifteen workers to the same task, and the resulting multiplication of work significantly increases the cost of micro task work and produces waste when requesters pay proportionally for redundant output.

**Type.** failure  **Support.** argued

**Holds when.**

- applies to centralized micro task platforms using redundancy for consensus

**Source quote.**

> set up teams of up to 15 workers to perform the same task in an effort to form a consensus. The multiplication of work inherent in this process significantly increases the cost of micro task work.
