Explanation:
Entendo que talvez tenha havido uma omissão da conjunção "and" para ficar "breath and scope". Nesse sentido seria um aumento do potencial de abrangência.

Reference information:
A frase é uma metáfora. Como a respiração é um fenómeno regular, eu diria ‘atingir uma ação regular no âmbito em que se enquadra'.

Breath of fresh air: A breath of fresh air is a welcome change from the current situation. For example, you could say ‘most of the movies last year were clichéd slapstick comedies; in this situation, this new movie for children is a breath of fresh air.' As metaphors go, this one is perfectly straightforward: fresh air feels like a welcome change after being indoors for some time, where you might have been inhaling stale air. - https://www.thehindu.com/features/education/issues/talking-p...

neutral  Ricardo Monassa: @José Patrício, quando digitei essas duas palavras juntas na busca, o que apareceu foi "breadth" e não "breath". Provável que o cliente tenha digitado errado no original mesmo. Vamos ver... ;)"
