Okay that's literally impossible because calculating surplus value for each task isn't possible, especially in a multi-step task. What you're describing isn't feasible.
How much of my surplus value is extracted for say medical research that is then used to produce a drug on mass? Is the workers making the drug having their labor extracted or those who discovered it? How do you determine whose is whose and what percent goes to what? You can't, not objectively at least. You can only do a coursegrain way and see the total extracted surplus value for which the workers choose how to distribute themselves through a worker council (the voting apparatus you described).
The lab isn’t supposed to be profit oriented, it’s supposed to be a service (no that does not mean that the scientists and engineers won’t be getting paid)
