The practical payoff is a validated rule for when to tile or zoom on large inputs like floor plans and construction drawings, saving tokens without sacrificing recall. Engineers building document-processing or inspection pipelines can apply the decomposition rule directly. The finding that OpenAI models failed 4 orderings when fed more pixels than their default path is a caution for anyone pushing high-resolution inputs through GPT-4V-class APIs.

BiG-SURE provides a practical uncertainty estimation method for safety-critical applications using black-box models, which is crucial for deployment in regulated industries.
