Data miners, direct marketers, and spammers work with much larger programs on much smaller time scales and deem the results successes or failures all the time.
I thought the highlighted sentence was close to the mark because the "massive scale" of the BDO program is insignificant compared to the problem it pretends to solve.
If BDOs have a superhuman
"lift" of 10000%, then the program would miss only 120,000 criminals for every 1266 arrests. But your BDO personnel would probably be smart enough to leave and earn their fortunes playing poker.
