Reporting outcomes
What outcomes do quality control & inspection deployments report?
Medians are computed only from comparable observed figures — same measure, unit, direction and period. 6 of 123 documented deployments currently support at least one published statistic. Values are as reported by the original source, not independently audited.

How these numbers are computed
- Population: every published quality control & inspection case study in our manufacturing corpus (123 deployments), recomputed from the database — no figure on this page is hardcoded.
- Outcome medians: computed only within cohorts that share measure, unit, direction, period and observed-result status. Ranges, approximations, forecasts, simulations and mixed money bases are excluded rather than coerced. 6 of 123 deployments currently contribute to a published statistic. Each statistic links the contributing case records and cited sources so the median can be recalculated from that list. Sample size is distinct cases, not metric slots.
- Source figures are as reported by each record's linked cited source. They are not independently audited, and the current corpus does not classify source type. Treat medians as the shape of reported outcomes, not a guarantee.
