Why this formula appears here
where is a small scheduling and aggregation overhead that grows slowly with k . Two evaluations that both report “an agent retried up to five times” can therefore report latency figures that differ by nearly a factor of five, purely as an artifact of whether those five attempts ran one after another or side by side, with cost looking nearly identical between them. A latency number published without stating the retry and parallelism policy behind it is not comparable to another latency number published under a different policy, even when both describe the same underlying agent on the same task.
