Proposed Academy use: bounded pilots, capacity-aware scaling, amendable practices. Associations are not causal probabilities; measure learning and delivery costs alongside demand.
Retrospective seven-pair historical study. Locators:44–73performancebounds;74–102experiments;103–126reserves/risk;127–150operatingrecipe;223–225investmentdenominators.
The authors combine a lower performance commitment with an upper limit on expansion; recommend limited experiments before major commitments; and advocate specific, consistent operating practices that can be deliberately amended. Their reported investment outcomes exclude six unclear cases:23/26 calibrated versus7/30 uncalibrated commitments had favorable outcomes.

Paraphrase, not quotation. The full Literature Note records study selection, missing outcomes, conditional-probability issues and targeted primary checks. Six unclear investment outcomes are excluded from the reported56 cases; allsix are comparison-group uncalibrated commitments. Whole supplied source examined; external study replication not claimed.
