At its core, Cookie Monster computes an index on both buildings and upgrades: At its core, Cookie Monster computes an index on both buildings and upgrades:
* **Base Cost per Income (BCI)**: Indicates how much a building is worth by comparing how much it costs to how much income gained * **Return On Investment (ROI)**: Indicates how much a building is worth by using the formula max(cost - cookies in bank, 0)/cps + cost/Δ cps
Cookie Monster also indicates the time left before being able to buy an upgrade or building, and takes it into consideration. It will take *everything* in consideration, meaning if buying a building also unlocks an achievement which boosts your income, which unlocks an achievement, it will know and highlight that building's value.

* Light Blue: (upgrades) This item has a better BCI than any building * Light Blue: (upgrades) This item has a better ROI than any building

Note: For this index, **lower is better**, meaning a building with a BCI of 1 is more interesting than one with a BCI of 3. Note: For this index, **lower is better**, meaning a building with a ROI of 1 is more interesting than one with a ROI of 3.
