How much redundancy?

How many times is any given work unit processed as a routine matter? I don't mean to say if it is returned incomplete, or not returned at all, but in the ordinary course of events.

When everything is fine, it's processed only once.

Fah doesn't waste computing resources like some of the other projects that require a work unit be processed twice to assure data consistency, or a third time if the first 2 don't match. That's like cutting your contributor's donations in half or more. Fah uses a number of validation steps and other techniques to assure data consistency. They also use statistical model validation steps which eliminate the need to duplicate WU which have been completed successfully.
