Bloch oscillations of atoms in optical lattices offer a powerful technique to significantly enhance the sensitivity of atom interferometers by orders of magnitude. To fully exploit the potential of this method, an accurate theoretical description of losses and phases beyond current treatments is essential. In this work, we introduce a comprehensive theoretical framework for Bloch-oscillation-enhanced atom interferometry [Fitzek et al., arXiv:2306.09399]. We confirm its accuracy through comparison with an exact numerical solution of the Schrödinger equation [Fitzek et al., Sci Rep 10, 22120 (2020)]. Using our approach, we define the fundamental efficiency and accuracy limits of Bloch-oscillation-enhanced atom interferometers and establish design criteria to achieve their saturation. We compare these limits to current state-of-the-art atom interferometers and formulate requirements for the improvement of future quantum sensors.
