Glossary entry
Quality floor
What makes an AI output count as finished at all, together with the rate at which outputs clear it. Only outputs that clear the floor enter the count of benefit. It is set per workload before the estimate is made.
Why it matters
It stops rejected or unusable output being counted as value. Automating a thousand tasks with a hundred rejected means counting eight hundred, less the effort of fixing the rejects.
