Rules of thumb, made rigorous

A heuristic is an expert rule of thumb — "if the face is open to the path, expect a slice". SwingVantage encodes many of these into a consistent engine so the same input always produces the same read.

Heuristic does not mean "guess". It means transparent, repeatable reasoning you can inspect, rather than a black box.

Key takeaways

  • A heuristic is an expert rule of thumb, applied consistently.
  • Same input → same read, every time.
  • It is transparent, not a black box.
