Split comparison of correlation-based approach breaking at seasonal change versus physics-based approach adapting smoothly

Most sand analytics software uses correlation. Statistical relationships between inputs and outputs discovered from your historical data. It works until conditions change. Physics-based prediction calculates what should happen based on the actual chemistry and thermodynamics of your sand system.
