descriptive claim

Periodic is scaling up, but its physical experimentation cannot expand environments or rollouts as freely as a digital environment, making sample efficiency important.

In their words

The transcript segments this claim was taken from

“So we're scaling things up significantly,”
“but still it's very different than a digital environment where you can arbitrarily add more environments or more rollouts. We don't have that same capacity.”
“So sample efficiency is another key thing.”
