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
One weekend I recorded our squad reading the same callouts on different headsets, then blinded the clips. Everyone flagged the same muddy pair. In scrims, that muffled midrange cost a retake. Since then, I test mic gain structure, processing, and plosives like our shot-caller’s clarity depends on it.
