comfort as data

You don't walk into a room and average your experience. You walk in and the thing that's wrong is the thing you notice: the glare, the echo, the cold draft on the back of your neck. Comfort isn't a single number, and it's definitely not the mean of six of them.

Comfort as data is my attempt to take that seriously. Sensi scores a floor plan across six senses, thermal, visual, acoustic, spatial, olfactory, tactile, calibrated to one person rather than a code-book average, and it keeps a coupling matrix so that warming a room and watching the acoustics shift is a fact the tool has to face instead of hide.

Here's the part I lose sleep over. The moment you make comfort legible you make it easy to prescribe, and a tool that says this room scores badly is one short step from this room is not allowed. I built Sensi to estimate and to explain, never to diagnose, and I wrote agreement is not truth into the notes so the warning ships with the product.

None of this measures a body. It scores a design against what the research suggests and hands you a reading you're free to overrule. That distinction is the whole ethic of the thing.
