Genome-scale throughput is accepted only when exact days fit the project gate. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.

highlighted = computed this step

The first project row lands inside the day limit

The run output is 2000 bases and the day output is 12000 bases. The target takes 2 days, so acceptance is 1.

Brun=2000,Bday=12000,D=23,A=1B_{\text{run}}=2000,\quad B_{\text{day}}=12000,\quad D=2\le3,\quad A=1

A smaller instrument budget misses the limit

The second row has only 2000 bases per day, so the 8000 base target takes 4 days. The acceptance bit is 0.

D=8000/2000=4>3,A=0D=8000/2000=4>3,\quad A=0

A larger run budget lands exactly on the limit

The third row reaches 14400 bases per day and takes exactly 3 days. Equality with the limit still accepts, so the bit is 1.
