How would one actually calculate the full “fruit of labor” in work that includes several people doing different tasks?

How to calculate between people doing the same task producing physical items seems easy. Add in customer service, sales, and development, and it seems easier to focus on what other groups pay for those skills, which is not what I want.

It also seems looking at the difference between having the role, and not. However some skills are mandatory, just less involved.

Feel free to simplify, but different tasks is a must.

    Several people doing different tasks

    Are you able to expand on the scale and nuance here?

    1. Is it in a chain where one persons tasks gives the input to the next persons task? factory line style?
    2. How large are the tasks and then roles to fulfill them? IE at a subway (bake bread initially, prepare sandwich on demand) vs a software project (months long work, tasks could potentially months long and need many subtasks)

    Some example questions for what I mean

      I am looking for a general answer, so no.

      I was hoping to tap knowledge I don’t have, but though common. I mean many of us work or own businesses.
