A clear, accessible dive into Wright’s Law and the experience curve: how cumulative production lowers unit costs, and the math behind the progress ratio and learning rate. We trace the idea from Ebbinghaus’s memory experiments to Curtis Wright’s aircraft data, then explore how learning happens at the individual, team, and organizational levels. Along the way we connect the concept to manufacturing, software, and automation, and discuss what this means for progress, efficiency, and innovation.
