success rates

How often works

Success rates measure how often attempts achieve their intended outcome, expressed as a percentage or ratio.

Medical procedures have success rates, as do sales pitches, fertility treatments, and rehabilitation programs.

The term implies measurable, repeated attempts: The surgery has a 90% success rate.

Higher success rates suggest reliability, though definitions of "success" vary by context.
