From what I remember;
"low research cost" means a linear cost increase:
10k, 20k, 30k, 40k

"High research cost" means an n^2 increase:
10k, 40k, 90k

I think maybe medium went n^1.5

Ok, I found the thread. I was not exactly right in how I remembered it.

Low is LC x TL

Medium is LC x ((TL^2)/2)

High is LC x TL^2
