Compare effort before a higher-effort retry

Offline comparison uses the same tasks and acceptance rules. Online verification can cause a supported retry at higher effort if budget is available. This does not guarantee success.

Compare effort before a higher-effort retryOffline comparison uses the same tasks and acceptance rules. Online verification can cause a supported retry at higher effort if budget is available. This does not guarantee success. Offline comparison Online verification Same tasks same acceptance rules Compare modes quality / time / cost Select a setting Pareto frontier Selected effort supported mode Do a result check task acceptance rule Accepted result record total task cost Failure + retry budget
Offline evaluations use the same acceptance rule. Online verification may cause a supported retry at higher effort if the remaining budget is sufficient. This does not guarantee success. Failed attempts add cost and latency. Success and no-budget cases are constructed examples. The author made this explanatory diagram with example playback, and animation time is not measured runtime.
