# Where does wrights law apply? [[Wrights Law does not apply to all technologies]] (Or does it?) Are there common charactertistics between technologies where wright’s law holds and where it fails to hold? [[korusWrightLawPredicted2019]] argues that wrights law applies to car manufacturing (at least in the case of Ford and Tesla) ### Some related questions - When does the market matter? Does it need to be a continuous demand curve? - A lot of the initial learning curve work was done by Bain the first half of the 20th century, so probably assembly line based. - Does it only apply to manufacturing lines? Continuous systems? - Does it depend on the number of steps? - Some kind of stochastic thing around each step - What *counts* as a step in a process? ### Related - [[What does it mean for a technology to scale?]]
