Project scale is repeated physical readout with an exact day ledger. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.

highlighted = computed this step

A run is lanes times reads times length

There are 4 lanes, 5 reads per lane, and 100 bases per read, so one run has 2000 bases.

Instrument-days scale the run output

With 2 instruments and 3 runs per day, the output is 12000 bases per day. A 24000 base target takes 2 days.
