Routine Threshold

A Routine Threshold is a threshold measure that defines maximum distance where routine methods yield acceptable value.

• AKA: q Threshold, Viability Threshold, Routine Boundary, Method Effectiveness Threshold, Application Limit.
• Context:
  • It can typically determine abstention decisions in automated systems.
  • It can typically separate routine work from genius work domains.
  • It can often trigger task handoff to specialized agents.
  • It can often define displacement condition boundaries.
  • It can range from being a Tight Routine Threshold to being a Loose Routine Threshold, depending on its tolerance parameter.
  • It can range from being a Fixed Routine Threshold to being an Adaptive Routine Threshold, depending on its learning capability.
  • It can range from being a Universal Routine Threshold to being a Domain-Specific Routine Threshold, depending on its application scope.
  • It can range from being a Hard Routine Threshold to being a Soft Routine Threshold, depending on its boundary sharpness.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • ML Model Routine Threshold, such as:
    • Classifier Confidence Routine Threshold for prediction reliability.
    • Domain Shift Routine Threshold for distribution change tolerance.
  • Economic Routine Threshold, such as:
    • Cost-Benefit Routine Threshold for automation decision.
    • Quality Assurance Routine Threshold for acceptable error rate.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Performance Ceiling, which represents maximum capability rather than viability boundary.
  • Optimization Target, which defines goals rather than limits.
  • Safety Margin, which provides buffer rather than decision boundary.
