What this part means

The expressions on both sides represent the same quantity under the stated assumptions.

Its job in the formula

The equals sign connects the complete expression on the left with the complete expression on the right. Both sides must have compatible units.

The passage around this formula

For ML-guided autonomous labs, validated hit rate is the number under direct dispute. A-Lab reports roughly 70 percent of its 58 attempted targets synthesized as intended over its reported run [ 3 ] . GNoME’s own 380,000-structure “stable” count is a computational classification, not an experimental validation count, and the critique from Cheetham and Seshadri argues that an unknown but material fraction of that computational count would not survive independent scrutiny for novelty or synthesizability even before anyone attempts to make them [ 5 ] . Reporting on duplicate structures across high-throughput databases generally reinforces that caution without pinning down a single…
