Sliced a coppa this morning — cured 45 days at 75% humidity — and the marbling pops more when I plate on dark slate than on light maple. Are you seeing real differences in how customers respond to traditional butchers’ knots, natural casings, and a 1.5 mm slice off a hand-cranked flywheel, or is it just me?
But i’ve been running remote access-control for a multi-site client — provisioning in Brivo and Salto KS, a few API scripts, and audit reviews; the thing that got me more callbacks was attaching a one-page runbook with SLAs and the exact stack, plus a quick Loom of my workflow. I agree “remote opportunities” exist, but many teams still want a local handoff for hardware jams or badge printers, so be clear about on-call boundaries.
We A/B’d slate vs maple and ‘1.5 mm’ on a flywheel, and slate boosted sampling about 9% with faster first-pick; natural casings only helped when the ends were trimmed clean. Easy next step: alternate boards by the hour and tally grabs — like a salumi ring light. Have you tried leaving one tidy butcher’s knot on the board as a quick story hook?
