How to know if your baseline is ready
Your baseline is ready when you can compare one period against another without relying on a single noisy day.
You need enough repeated days to compare periods with confidence.
A single unusual day should not decide whether the baseline is ready.
When the baseline is ready, Hydrogen can compare real changes instead of guessing.
Readiness is a practical threshold
You do not need perfect data. You need enough stable data to make a comparison worth trusting.

Uneven data is still useful as context, but you should treat strong conclusions as provisional.
No. Use a practical threshold, then improve the baseline over time.
Track a few normal workdays
Build a baseline on Windows, then compare periods once the data is stable enough to trust.
