The problem I see is that—if you are making up terminology—it would be nice if the name reflected what was being measured.
Optimisation power suggests something useful—but the proposed metric contains no reference to the number of trials, the number of trials in series on the critical path—or most of the other common ways of measuring the worth of optimisation processes. It seems to be more a function of the size of the problem space than anything else—in which case, why “power” and not, say “factor”.
Before christening the notion, there are some basic questions: Is the proposed metric any use? What is the point of it?
