How to use it well

Import a representative measurement file and confirm units, missing values, and column roles before plotting. Fit only models justified by the experiment and inspect residuals rather than relying on a visually smooth curve. Save the project with source-data references, and include uncertainty and axis labels in exported figures.

This is best suited to scientists preparing and analyzing experimental figures. Before committing a larger project, account for these trade-offs: advanced analysis needs method knowledge; notebook backends require separate setup.
