The passage around this formula
Widening the shortlist drives the first term toward zero and the second term upward; narrowing it does the reverse. There is no value of m that eliminates both terms at once, which is exactly why the paper reports a design fix rather than a single ideal m : embedding-based shortlisting recovered 10 to 11 percentage points of F1 at full scale, consistently across three model families and two providers, and 10 to 17 percentage points on live production traffic, validated against 1,435 human-labeled utterances [ 11 ] . The fix is not “show fewer tools” as a blanket rule. It is choosing which few to show, per request, well.
