What the article says around this equation
Observable indicators. Coverage figures comparable to scenario one’s threshold appear in system cards, reported alongside method-specific metrics that do not map onto a competitor’s; RAVEL- and SAEBench-style benchmarks keep publishing but adoption stays partial; A(t) clears the coverage bar this article’s model requires while S(t) does not, so R(t) stays at zero even as raw coverage looks like scenario one’s.
