About

Records standardized callouts, benchmarks sidetone behavior, and tunes gain structure so teammates understand you the first time. Publishes blind clip shootouts and spectrogram comparisons for real-world comms clarity.

Core Beliefs

Teammates shouldn’t work to understand you; clarity is cooperative power.

Background
