Chain Accuracy

Chain accuracy is the multiplication that breaks multi-agent systems. If each agent is 95 percent accurate, two chained agents give 90 percent, three give 86 percent, and ten give about 60 percent, because errors compound at every handoff. The book uses this math to justify starting with two agents rather than twenty, and revisits it in Chapter 21 where fifty-agent chains produce correct results only in the single digits.
