The Three Axes

Hardware. Software. State.

Every read scores the same three axes, for every horse.

Qualitative example, not a measured score

How They Interact
Hardware limits what Software can do, Software drives State, State changes how Hardware is used.

Hardware

How a Read Works

Capture. Read. Act.

Who It Is For

More Than One Horse. One Standard.

A Yard is for anyone who looks after more than one horse. Each Asset gets its own read on the same three axes, so every horse in the yard is judged to one standard.
