No overall winner is assumed.
Unknown is never treated as zero.
If the employee already fits the role and you are not in a hurry, check whether natural skill growth is relevant before paying for training or replacing them.

Unknown is never treated as zero.
It depends on whether training can reach the target and whether a real candidate fits the work. This page shows both sides instead of naming a winner.
Because the cheaper side is not always the side that solves the problem.
No. Paid training also raises the wage, so a trained employee can cost more over time than a direct hire.
Only the demands visible now are compared, and future demands are never assumed.
Unknown is never treated as zero.
