Count Coverage, Not Attempts

TL;DR for operators More AI assessment attempts can increase the chance of resolving a security obligation, but attempt count is not assurance coverage. The operational quantity is the share of distinct assurance outcomes correctly resolved at least once. Jithin VG and Ditto PS develop a theoretical framework for compute-bounded security assurance.1 Its central result is that, under a fixed procedure with conditionally iid repeated attempts, long-run coverage depends on whether some outcomes are unreachable by that procedure. Mean success and pairwise correlation do not reveal that limit. ...
