Roasted a few batches of coffee with the new debug labels and that does seem to be opening up both a new avenue of investigation and gives me a little more confidence that I can use math to fix the problem I'm looking into. There's enough extra compute capability that I can run the original algorithm and what I think might work better at the same time and maybe I can just temporarily write a CSV with the output from both to verify that I'm getting the improvements I expect are possible.
If everything works out as I'm hoping, the new instrument could be a big usability improvement over competing products that operate on different principals.
