threshold capabilities

Threshold capabilities refer to the specific limits or minimum levels at which a system or process begins to detect, respond, or activate. In other words, it's the point that must be reached before the system takes action or recognizes an event. For example, a smoke alarm has a threshold for smoke density; it only sounds an alarm when smoke exceeds that level. Understanding these thresholds helps ensure systems operate effectively, avoiding false alarms or missed events, and ensures responses occur only when necessary.
