Shivansh Inamdar, writing for Forbes, discusses the "denominator problem" in the context of warehouse robots and AI systems. He argues that a high success rate percentage can be misleading at scale, as even a small failure rate can result in thousands of errors daily. Inamdar emphasizes that commercially viable automation requires systems designed to handle failures gracefully, rather than just error handlers. He suggests focusing engineering efforts on the most impactful failure classes and building systems that can address entire categories of issues, ultimately leading to systems that "fail best" at scale.
