HOW HNK SIGNAL WORKS
Show the work.
Explain the decision.
A tool can look impressive and still be wrong for your workflow. Our approach asks what it does, what it costs, and where it fits.
Results depend on the use case, settings and version tested. A recommendation should explain those limits.
- Define the real use case.
- Run a controlled test.
- Record the result.
- Compare cost, quality and workflow.
- Publish the evidence and decision criteria.
