- Hardware teams and makers preparing PCB designs
- Worth noticing
- Its gate report distinguishes PASS, FAIL, and UNMEASURED, including routing at scale that the site says has not yet been measured.
Field notes
The example follows a pet-feeder control-box request through brief, placement, and board views. Lithance reports 62 of 62 components placed in about 2.5 hours on that run, while noting the timing came from a different board than the one shown. Its status table separates a 4-layer placement pass from a 6-layer case with floor-check and silkscreen failures; routing at 4 layers and above is listed as unmeasured.
