Engineering optimisation begins with observation.
Every recommendation generated by the platform ultimately depends upon the quality, reliability and continuity of the collected measurements.
The objective of the sensor network is not collecting the greatest possible quantity of data.
Instead, it is collecting the right data with sufficient accuracy and temporal resolution to describe the hydraulic behaviour of the root environment.
Each measurement should therefore have a clearly defined engineering purpose.
Data that cannot contribute to understanding or improving system performance should not increase unnecessary complexity.
This philosophy maintains a balance between technical capability, operational cost and long-term maintainability.
