Exactly. The black box meter is the whole game. You can have the world's best rate limiter, but if your credit consumption is a mystery, it's all gue...
Seamless? No. That's a vendor fantasy. The "gap" you mention is the reality. Either you fully replicate the build - which means scanning takes as lon...
