The final lesson states the boundary: this is deterministic quality-count arithmetic.

Deterministic counts

The calculations use deterministic counts.

Not capability

This does not model stochastic defects, process capability, or inspection error.

Not a cost proof

This does not model cost of quality or prove improvement.

Honesty note

This is deterministic quality-count arithmetic only. It does not model stochastic defects, process capability, inspection error, cost of quality, or proof of improvement.
