One record at the start, one at the end, nothing between them. Connect the two, and grading changes. When one verified record follows each hide from wet-blue to finished leather, you can trace a defect back through the process. You can finally answer what tanneries never could: was the defect already there, or did it appear in processing? Then you fix the real cause. Dion Bettjeman, Mindhive Global&#8217;s CTO, shows what changes when both stages share one record. The value grows at every step.
