## Summary

TDK Ventures founder Nicolas Sauvage argues in an article that the key to robotic dexterity is not completing a single action, but the reliability of an entire workflow. He gives the example that when the single-step success rate is 99%, the probability of completing all 100 actions is only 36.6%, and only when it rises to 99.99% does it reach 99.0%.
