Modality

Signal & Sense

Start from what must be measured. Motion, environmental, vision, proximity, current: the modality defines the physics before any part number, and each principle brings its own suppliers.

Package

Form & Interface

SMD, embedded or standalone. I2C, SPI or analog. Package and interface decide integration effort and board space, and the same die ships in five forms at five prices.

Treat the interface as a sourcing spec.

Calibration

Accuracy & Drift

Calibration is the question a sensor buyer pays to have answered. Accuracy, drift, IP rating, range: a datasheet figure is a claim, verified drift is an audit result. Sourcing is won or lost here.

What the firm knows, published

Expertise is a utility, not a secret. sentiention™ publishes its working knowledge as open reference: intelligence layer covering the materials it sources, the markets it enters, and the reference that serves both.
