Fairness over arguments. Data stays private.
We calculate a "Weight Score" (Time × Effort × Frequency). The algorithm then distributes these weights to fill each person's capacity bucket, respecting their availability setting.
Not all minutes are equal. 10 minutes of scrubbing a toilet (High Effort) counts for more "points" than 10 minutes of waiting for the laundry machine (Low Effort).

Our algorithm calculates a comprehensive weight score for each chore using three factors:
Formula: Weight = Time × Effort × Frequency
Example: 30-minute vacuuming (Medium effort, Weekly) = 30 × 1.5 × 1 = 45 weight points
