Work deserves a paper trail.
Original studies about what operational records can tell us, what they leave out, and how to avoid drawing the wrong conclusion.
Who is behind this? The Handoff Review is owned by Workflow Inspector. We publish useful research, not supposedly independent praise of our own software.
New: real public data / THR-2026-001
Closed is not the same as completed: a public-issue pilot study
We examined 22 issues opened in August 2026 across four preselected public repositories. 11 of 17 closed issues carried a “not planned” or “duplicate” reason. The lesson is about measurement definitions, not which project is better.

Plain-English methods
You should not need to understand an algorithm to know what a reported measurement means.
Visible limitations
Small studies stay small studies. Demonstrations never become invented customer success stories.
