Field notes
The site describes a photo-analysis workflow rather than a general welding reference: an image is sent through a Supabase function to Gemini, then the stated result is a rating with defect notes. Scan history is kept on the device, while submitted images are said to remain only in memory during analysis. The homepage does not provide sample scores or validation data, so the quality of the judging cannot be assessed from the extract.
