In linear synthesis the overall yield quickly drops with each reaction step:

Typical conditions for the first stage, which contribute to an overall yield of about 98%, are:

The overall yield was 6%, of which half was isolated in pure crystalline form.

The overall yield for this synthesis was 25%.

The final step had 83% yield, and the overall yield for this synthesis was 33%.

To achieve high overall yield and reduce costs, separate testing of independent dies is essential.

Or will they watch the market drift lower until the overall yield matches their new expectations?

The overall yield of strangeness is also larger than expected if the new form of matter has been achieved.

The overall yield of pR from membrane through the column purifications is 30%.

Then they will have an overall yield above 9 percent.
